Class Java2DRenderer

java.lang.Object
org.openpdf.swing.Java2DRenderer

public class Java2DRenderer extends Object

Renders an XML files, formatted with CSS, as an image. Input is a document in the form of file or URL, and output is a BufferedImage. A Java2DRenderer is not intended to be re-used for multiple document sources; just create new Java2DRenderers for each one you need. Java2DRenderer is not thread-safe. Standard usage pattern is

 File xhtml = ...
 Java2DRenderer rend = new Java2DRenderer(xhtml);
 BufferedImage image = rend.getImage();
 

The document is not loaded, and layout and render don't take place, until getImage() is called. Subsequent calls to getImage() don't result in a reload; create a new Java2DRenderer instance to do so.

As with RootPanel, you can access the SharedContext instance that will be used by this renderer and change settings to control the rendering process; use getSharedContext().

By default, this renderer will render to an RGB image which does not support transparency. To use another type of BufferedImage, either set the image type in constructor before calling getImage(), or else override the createBufferedImage(int, int) to have full control over the image we render to.

Not thread-safe.

    • Java2DRenderer

      public Java2DRenderer(String url, String baseUrl, int width, int height, int bufferedImageType)
      Creates a new instance for a given URL. Does not render until getImage() is called for the first time.
      Parameters:
      url - The location of the document to be rendered.
      baseUrl - The base url for the document, against which relative paths are resolved.
      width - Target width, in pixels, for the image; required to provide horizontal bounds for the layout.
      height - Target height, in pixels, for the image; required to provide vertical bounds for the layout.

      public Java2DRenderer(Document doc, String baseUrl, int width, int height)
      Creates a new instance pointing to the given Document. Does not render until getImage() is called for the first time.
      Parameters:
      doc - The document to be rendered.
      baseUrl - The base url for the document, against which relative paths are resolved.

  • Method Details

    • fromFile

      public static Java2DRenderer fromFile(File file, int width, int bufferedImageType) throws IOException
      Throws:
      IOException
    • getSharedContext

      public SharedContext getSharedContext()
      Returns the SharedContext to be used by renderer. Is instantiated along with the class, so can be accessed before getImage() is called to tune the rendering process.
      Returns:
      the SharedContext instance that will be used by this renderer
    • getImage

      public BufferedImage getImage()
      Renders the XML document if necessary and returns the resulting image. If already rendered, same image reference will be returned.
      Returns:
      The XML rendered as a BufferedImage.
    • createBufferedImage

      protected BufferedImage createBufferedImage(int width, int height)
      Returns a BufferedImage using the specified width and height. By default, this returns an image compatible with the screen (if not in "headless" mode) using the BufferedImage type specified in constructor, or else RGB if none is specified.
      Parameters:
      width - target width
      height - target height
      Returns:
      new BI
