symbol()

symbol(arguments…)

Generates a symbol for the given arguments. The arguments are arbitrary; they are simply propagated to the symbol generator’s accessor functions along with the this object. For example, with the default settings, no arguments are needed to produce a circle with area 64 square pixels. If the symbol generator has a context, then the symbol is rendered to this context as a sequence of path method calls and this function returns void. Otherwise, a path data string is returned.
