atPoint: (CGPoint interactionPoint 
implementation

Informs the receiver that the user has started touching the screen.

If this plot has a delegate that responds to the -scatterPlot:plotSymbolTouchDownAtRecordIndex: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolTouchDownAtRecordIndex:withEvent: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolWasSelectedAtRecordIndex: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolWasSelectedAtRecordIndex:withEvent: methods, the data points are searched to find the index of the one closest to the interactionPoint. The 'touchDown' delegate method(s) will be called and this method will return YES if the interactionPoint is within the plotSymbolMarginForHitDetection of the closest data point. Then, if no plot symbol was hit or allowSimultaneousSymbolAndPlotSelection is YES and if this plot has a delegate that responds to the -scatterPlotDataLineTouchDown: or -scatterPlot:dataLineTouchDownWithEvent: or -scatterPlotDataLineWasSelected: or -scatterPlot:dataLineWasSelectedWithEvent: methods and the interactionPoint falls within plotLineMarginForHitDetection points of the plot line, then the 'dataLineTouchDown' delegate method(s) will be called and this method will return YES. This method returns NO if the interactionPoint is not within plotSymbolMarginForHitDetection points of any of the data points or within plotLineMarginForHitDetection points of the plot line.
