If you're using embedded code you have a Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop( ... 
statement which accepts an outputstream.
If you want to keep your output in memory instead of writing it to disk you can 
read it from that stream.
Use a ByteArrayOutputStream instead of a FileOutputStream.

Subject: Re: Generating PNG files from FO sources

More info: 

I now realize that the convertFO2PDF  from 
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/embedding.html#ExampleFO2PDF can be 
modified to use MimeConstants.MIME_PNG in place of MimeConstants.MIME_PDF. Very 
straight-forward!


However ... that solution isn't quite what I'm looking for. In some cases I 
want a BufferedImage not a file. I guess I could save a file and then read in a 
BufferedImage. But I'm hoping to get the BufferedImage without having to write 
it out to disk. 


Also I can't get the page count. With AWTRenderer from FOP 0.20, I could call  
getNumberOfPages to see if my report fit onto a single page. I've got code 
which then reduced the font size & tried again if the page count was greater 
than 1.


So, I guess my subject line should really be "Generating BufferedImages from FO 
sources" ...

Subject: Generating PNG files from FO sources

I'm _finally_ getting around to upgrading from FOP 0.20 to FOP 1.0! 


My existing code uses org.apache.fop.apps.Driver. I see that is no longer 
available, so I'm trying to figure out how to port my code. I figured out PDF 
generation, but can't figure out how to render a PNG from an FO file. All the 
examples in documentation talk about PDF, I can't find a PNG example. 



Is there sample code I haven't found? Or can someone provide a hint as to what 
classes I should be using and the key method calls?


I found PNGRendererMaker so I can get a renderer. But I'm not sure what to do 
with it. Perhaps call it's renderXml method? In that case, what do I need for 
the namespace argument? 

I don't use XSLT, I just generate the FO code directly in Java. 

Any clues appreciated ...
