Introduction

The FOray Render module contains classes that are used to convert an aXSL Area Tree into an output format. The general Output module converts Fo Trees to output formats, and the Renderer module extends that model to convert laid-out Area Trees. FOray currently maintains the following renderers:

• AWT, for viewing the document on-screen or printing.
• PCL
• PDF
• PostScript
• SVG
• Text
• XML. Creates an XML representation of the Area Tree.

Of these renderers, only the PDF and XML renderers are actively tested and used. However, the others are maintained for future use.
