Each renderer can implement one or more rendering modes. Modes change the style of the display. End-user can change the mode by clicking on the drop-down button of the renderer in the explorer tool bar. The modes are defined in the renderer definition file (XRD).
Renderers can also integrate new buttons in the explorer tool bar to add new features or control the display.
Workspace suppliers can also define rendering options in their models. ITEM, SERIES and FOLDERS has specific attributes to control the renderers. With these attributes, you can automatically switch to a specific renderer and a mode when the end-user "opens" an element in an explorer window.
