Introduction and prerequisites
This technical article presents how renderers are modeled and implemented in Java.
It requires a configured Java development environment and that you be familiar with Java report chapter implementation and the data structure which reports generate.
If not, please refer to the following technical articles:
• MEGA Plug-ins with Java
• Writing Java report chapters
• Java report data structure
For each rendering format which should be handled (HTML, PDF, etc.), there is one renderer implementation.
In Mega 2009 SP5, HTML and PDF renderers are taken into account. However, RTF is generated from HTML.
In Mega 2009 SP4, only HTML renderers are taken into account.
