def serialize(builder, var_obj):
    """
    Serialize a variable using FlatBuffers.
    Parameters
    ----------
    builder : flatbuffers.builder.Builder
        The FlatBuffers builder instance which serializes data. If this
        parameter is None, then a new builder will be created
    var_obj : dict
        Dictionary which contains information about the variable to serialize
        It must have five keys:
        - ``label`` : a :obj:`str` that SEAScope uses to designate the variable
        - ``units`` : a :obj:`str` for the units of the variable
        - ``fields`` : a :obj:`list` of :obj:`str` which contains the name of
          the data fields that must be read in order to recompose the variable.
          For example the U and V components for a vectorfield, or three
          channels for RGB images
        - ``tags`` : a :obj:`dict` which contains tags that describe the
          variable. SEAScope considers a (key, value) pair as a tag.
        - ``defaultRenderingMethod`` : a :obj:`str` that designates the
          rendering method that must be used by default for this variable.
          This parameter must be one of the keys of the
          :const:`SEAScope.types.rendering_cfg.rendering_methods` dictionary
    Returns
    -------
    tuple(flatbuffers.builder.Builder, int)
        A tuple which contains two elements:
        - the :obj:`flatbuffers.builder.Builder` instance which has been used
          to serialize data
        - an :obj:`int` which is the address/offset of the serialized object
          in the builder buffer
