## Description

FoDoc provides the primitives for writing text, lines, rectangles, etc., to the output.

It is generalised so that libfo can support multiple backend implementations (and add and remove backend implementations) without having to restructure the rest of libfo.

## Details

### FoDoc

    typedef struct _FoDoc FoDoc;

### FoDocClass

    typedef struct _FoDocClass FoDocClass;

### FO_DOC_ERROR

    #define FO_DOC_ERROR fo_doc_error_quark ()

### fo_doc_error_quark ()

    GQuark              fo_doc_error_quark                  (void);

Get the error quark for FoDoc.

If the quark does not yet exist, create it.

Returns : | Quark associated with FoDoc errors.

### enum FoDocError

    typedef enum
    {
      FO_DOC_ERROR_FAILED,
      FO_DOC_ERROR_OPEN_FAILED,	     /* Cannot open output document */
      FO_DOC_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT,   /* Unsupported document format */
      FO_DOC_ERROR_LAST
    } FoDocError;

### enum FoDocLineCap

    typedef enum
    {
      FO_DOC_LINE_CAP_INVALID,
      FO_DOC_LINE_CAP_BUTT,
      FO_DOC_LINE_CAP_ROUND,
      FO_DOC_LINE_CAP_SQUARE,
      FO_DOC_LINE_CAP_LIMIT
    } FoDocLineCap;

### enum FoDocLineJoin

    typedef enum
    {
      FO_DOC_LINE_JOIN_INVALID,
      FO_DOC_LINE_JOIN_MITER,
      FO_DOC_LINE_JOIN_ROUND,
      FO_DOC_LINE_JOIN_BEVEL,
      FO_DOC_LINE_JOIN_LIMIT
    } FoDocLineJoin;

### fo_doc_new ()

    FoDoc*              fo_doc_new                          (void);

Creates a new FoDoc.

Returns : | the newly created FoDoc.

### fo_doc_new_from_type ()

    FoDoc*              fo_doc_new_from_type                (const gchar *type);

Creates a new FoDoc.

`type` : | Type of the new FoDoc.
Returns : | the newly created FoDoc.

### fo_doc_formats_from_name ()

    FoFlagsFormat       fo_doc_formats_from_name            (const gchar *name);

Gets the output formats supported by `name` class.

`name` should not be NULL.

If `name` does not implement any formats, returns FO_FLAG_FORMAT_UNKNOWN.

`name` : | Registered FoObject type name, e.g., "FoDocCairo"
Returns : | FoFlagsFormat with zero or more bits set for the supported formats.

### fo_doc_open_file ()

    void                fo_doc_open_file                    (FoDoc *fo_doc,

`fo_doc` : | FoDoc.
Returns : | New FoLayout.

### fo_doc_get_language ()

    const gchar*        fo_doc_get_language                 (FoDoc *fo_doc);
