Section 2_ The FonetDriver Class

FonetDriver Class

An instance of Fonet.FonetDriver is obtained by calling the static factory method FonetDriver.Make.

{code:c#} using Fonet;

namespace FonetExample { class HelloWorld { static void Main(string args) { FonetDriver driver = FonetDriver.Make(); // do something with driver } } } {code:c#}

{code:vb.net} Imports Fonet

Module FonetTest Sub Main() Dim driver As FonetDriver = FonetDriver.Make ' do something with driver End Sub End Module {code:vb.net}

Once an instance of FonetDriver has been obtained, PDF documents can easily be created by calling the Render method. The Render method is passed two arguments:

• the source XSL-FO document that describes what to render.
• the destination stream or file that the PDF document should be written to.

{code:c#} driver.Render("input.fo", "output.pdf"); {code:c#}

A variety of overloaded forms of Render are available.
