## Implemented Interfaces

ChamplainMarker implements ClutterContainer, ClutterScriptable, ClutterAnimatable, AtkImplementorIface and ChamplainLocation.

## Description

Markers represent points of interest on a map. Markers need to be placed on a layer (a ChamplainMarkerLayer). Layers have to be added to a champlainview for the markers to show on the map.

A marker is nothing more than a regular clutteractor. You can draw on it what ever you want. Set the marker's position on the map using champlain_location_set_location. Don't forget to set the marker's pointer position using clutter_actor_set_translation.

This is a base class of all markers. libchamplain has a more evoluted type of markers with text and image support. See ChamplainLabel for more details.
