public interface SymbolStyle

The interface for things that say how to paint a symbol.

Given a symbol, this allows you to get the color to outline or fill the glyphs for rendering the symbol. This may be something as simple as colouring dots on a scatter-plot, or labeling a key, or it may be as complicated as sequence logos.
