* @ingroup GdsOutputRenderer
*
* @section ExternalRendererProps Properties
* This class inherits all properties from its parent @ref GdsOutputRenderer.
* In addition to that, it implements the following properties:
*
* Property Name | Description
* -----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------
* shared-object-path | Path to the shared object used for rendering
*
* All these properties have to be set for rendering.
*
* @section ExternalRendererFuncs Necessary Functions
*
* The following functions and variables are necessary for an external renderer to implement:
*
* Code Define | Prototype | Description
* ---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* @ref EXTERNAL_LIBRARY_RENDER_FUNCTION | int EXTERNAL_LIBRARY_RENDER_FUNCTION(struct gds_cell *toplevel, GList *layer_info_list, const char *output_file_name, double scale) | Render cell to output file
* @ref EXTERNAL_LIBRARY_INIT_FUNCTION | int EXTERNAL_LIBRARY_INIT_FUNCTION(const char *option_string, const char *version_string) | Init function. Executed before rendering. This is given the command line parameters specified for the external renderer and the version string of the currently running gds-render program.
* @ref EXTERNAL_LIBRARY_FORK_REQUEST | int EXTERNAL_LIBRARY_FORK_REQUEST; | The pure presence of this integer results in the execution inside a subprocess of hte whole shared object's code
