Yes. I should probably expand on that topic a bit. The layout creates an area tree which consists of pages. As each page is created by the layout the page is added to the area tree. It is set up so that as a page is added to the area tree it is handled immediately. The area tree model deals with pages as they are added, it can store the page, render immediately or if the page is not ready cache for later rendering. So this is done with the area tree model. The next part is rendering. Each renderer can handle a page that is sent to it or prepare for a page that is not ready. For PDF it can output the page contents in any order so that ready pages are rendered and output to the pdf document, other pages can be setup for later rendering. The next part is the PDF document. This is setup so that it can output immediately any pdf object that is added to the document. This means that it will output images, pages and some other smaller objects immediately and then release any memory used for those objects. The other renderers haven't been updated yet but they will be able to take advantage of this. > >The "SAX" input is really about processing the layout as the fo comes > >in.
