    public class SetPlotContainerValue
    extends AbstractTransformer
    Updates a value of a plot container before it is being displayed in the SequencePlotter sink. Usually, you would attach a variable to the 'value' property of this actor, in order to update the specified value of the container with a value that you calculated somewhere else in the flow.

    Input/output:
    - accepts:
       adams.flow.container.SequencePlotterContainer
    - generates:
       adams.flow.container.SequencePlotterContainer


    Container information:
    - adams.flow.container.SequencePlotterContainer: PlotName, X, Y, Content type, Error X, Error Y, MetaData
    - adams.flow.container.SequencePlotterContainer: PlotName, X, Y, Content type, Error X, Error Y, MetaData

    -logging-level <OFF|SEVERE|WARNING|INFO|CONFIG|FINE|FINER|FINEST> (property: loggingLevel)
        The logging level for outputting errors and debugging output.

        default: 
     
    -skip <boolean> (property: skip)
        If set to true, transformation is skipped and the input token is just forwarded

    -stop-flow-on-error <boolean> (property: stopFlowOnError)
        If set to true, the flow gets stopped in case this actor encounters an error;
         useful for critical actors.

        default: PLOT_NAME
     
    -value <adams.core.base.BaseString> (property: value)
        The actual value to use for updating; values for X_VALUE and Y_VALUE get 
        automatically parsed to doubles; in case of PLOT_NAME you can also use variables 
        in the string.
        default: Plot
     
    -meta-data-key <java.lang.String> (property: metaDataKey)
        The key to use when updating meta-data.
