    How to construct a point symbol from a marker
    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      CIMMarker marker = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructMarker(ColorFactory.Instance.GreenRGB, 8.0, SimpleMarkerStyle.Pushpin);
      CIMPointSymbol pointSymbolFromMarker = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPointSymbol(marker);
    });
    How to construct a point symbol from a file on disk
    //The following file formats can be used to create the marker: DAE, 3DS, FLT, EMF, JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF
    CIMMarker markerFromFile = await QueuedTask.Run(() => SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructMarkerFromFile(@"C:\Temp\fileName.dae"));
    
    CIMPointSymbol pointSymbolFromFile = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPointSymbol(markerFromFile);
    
    How to construct a point symbol from a in memory graphic
    //Create a stream for the image
    //At 3.0 you need https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Windows.Compatibility
    //System.Drawing
    
    System.Drawing.Image newImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"C:\PathToImage\Image.png");
    var stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
    newImage.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
    stream.Position = 0;
    //Create marker using the stream
    CIMMarker markerFromStream = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructMarkerFromStream(stream);
    //Create the point symbol from the marker
    CIMPointSymbol pointSymbolFromStream = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPointSymbol(markerFromStream);
