* A symbolizer describes how a feature should appear on a map.
*
* <p>
* The symbolizer describes not just the shape that should appear but also
* such graphical properties as color and opacity.
* </p>
*
* <p>
* A symbolizer is obtained by specifying one of a small number of different
* types of symbolizer and then supplying parameters to override its default
* behaviour.
