Description

This function retrieves the Python command used to render given species of trees, as identified by their FIA identifier, USDA PLANTS code identifier, common name (as specified by the FIA program), species, or genus. Note that capitalization is ignored when matching all character-based lookups – all lookup values are stored as lower case and all queries are coerced to lower case. If no render method has been defined for the lookup value, a default method is returned.
