Method Detail

getDefaultFontFamily

public FontFamily getDefaultFontFamily()

getDefaultPageSize

public PageSize getDefaultPageSize()

Returns the default physical page size. If not defined otherwise, this will also be the logical size.

Returns:

The export descriptor is a string that describes the output characteristics. For libLayout outputs, it should start with the output class (one of 'pageable', 'flow' or 'stream'), followed by '/liblayout/' and finally followed by the output type (ie. PDF, Print, etc).

Returns: the export descriptor.

getFontFamilyForGenericName

public FontFamily getFontFamilyForGenericName(CSSConstant genericName)

getFontMetrics

public FontMetrics getFontMetrics(FontSpecification spec)

getFontSize

public double getFontSize(CSSConstant constant)

getFontStorage

public FontStorage getFontStorage()

Although most font systems are global, some may have some issues with caching. OutputTargets may have to tweak the font storage system to their needs.

Returns:

getHorizontalPageSpan

public int getHorizontalPageSpan()

Returns the horizontal page span. If the value is less than one, it will be corrected to one.

Returns:

getMediaType

public String getMediaType()

Returns the media type of the output target. This corresponds directly to the CSS defined media types and is used as a selector.

Returns: the media type of the output target.

Returns:

isFeatureSupported

public boolean isFeatureSupported(OutputProcessorFeature.BooleanOutputProcessorFeature feature)

isIterative

public boolean isIterative()

An iterative output processor accepts and processes small content chunks. If this method returns false, the output processor will not receive the content until the whole document is processed.

Returns:

isValid

public boolean isValid(FontSpecification spec)
