A renderer allows you to change the style of all graphics in a graphics overlay by referencing a single symbol style. A renderer will only effect graphics that do not specify their own symbol style.
      
   
    
Use case
A renderer allows you to change the style of all graphics in an overlay by only changing one copy of the symbol. For example, a user may wish to display a number of graphics on a map of parkland which represent trees, all sharing a common symbol.
How to use the sample
Run the sample and view graphics for points, lines, and polygons, which are stylized using renderers.
How it works
- Create a GraphicsOverlayand add it to theMapView.
- Create a Graphic, specifying only aGeometry.
- Create a single Symbolsuch as aSimpleMarkerSymbol.
- Create a renderer with the Symbolsuch as aSimpleRenderer(symbol).
- Set the renderer on the GraphicsOverlaywithgraphicsOverlay.setRenderer(renderer).

Additional information
To set unique symbols across a number of graphics (e.g. showing graphics of individual landmarks) see the "Add graphics with symbols" sample.
