If successful, returns a Colorizer object; otherwise, returns a null value.

This method returns a new instance of a Colorizer object. If you need to supply functionality beyond what the base Colorizer class offers, then you must derive a class from the Colorizer class and return an instance of your class. This is typically not necessary as the existing Colorizer class handles all colorizing tasks using the IScanner object supplied by GetScanner.

The base method always returns a new Colorizer object that is initialized with an IScanner object obtained from GetScanner. This method is called whenever a new Source object is created.
