ABSTRACT:
Technologies are described herein for emitting raster and vector content from a single software component. An application program maintains an in-memory representation of a document in an intermediate format. When the application program needs to render the document, it determines whether the target device is a raster or a vector device. The application program then utilizes a single software component to render the document for the target device. The application program provides an instruction to the software component as to whether the in-memory representation should be rendered as vector content or as raster content. In response to receiving the instruction, the software component retrieves the in-memory representation and renders it according to the instruction received from the application program. The rendered content is then provided to the target device.
