Remarks
This interface is implemented by types that are to draw additional features onto a map.

To use a renderer, assign an object that implements IMapRenderer to the Renderer property of an IMap object. When the map is redrawn it will invoke the Render(Graphics, RenderContext) method of the IMapRenderer.

Multiple renderers can be attached to a single IMap by using a RendererList.

Examples
C#
Copy
public class CenterRenderer : IMapRenderer {
    public void Render(Graphics graphics, RenderContext rc) {
        if (rc.Mode != RenderMode.PostLabelling) {
            return;
        }

        // Render a circle at the center of the map
        Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 3);

        int center_x, center_y;
        int radius = 20;
        rc.Map.LatLontoXY(out center_x, out center_y, rc.Map.Center);

        graphics.DrawEllipse(pen,
                             center_x - radius,
                             center_y - radius,
                             radius * 2,
                             radius * 2);
