public interface IGenerator<T extends IChemObject>
```
An IGenerator converts chemical entities into parts of the chemical drawing expressed as IRenderingElements. Note that some generators have explicit empty constructors (like: "public MyGenerator() {}") which can be useful in some situations where reflection is required. It is not, however, necessary for most normal drawing situations.
