- Renders:__index (key)
-

anyRaises:
on wrong arguments - Renders:__call (name)
-
Convenience function to access a specific named style.
Parameters:
- name string style of rendering
Returns:
selfRaises:
on wrong arguments
Methods

-
Create a new instance.

or from a previous instance of some kind.
Parameters:
- name string style of rendering
Returns:
selfRaises:
on wrong arguments - Renders:_init (name)
-
Initialize a new instance.
Parameters:
- name string style of rendering
Returns:
selfRaises:
on wrong arguments - Renders:realizeVersion ()
-

string - Renders:style (name)
-
Convenience function to access a specific named style.
This will not create the style if it isn't created yet.
Parameters:

Returns:
nil or RenderRaises:
on wrong arguments - Renders:registerStyle (name)

This is at class level. It is really a two level strategy, but we're lazy
and skip one of the levels.

- name string style of rendering
Returns:
RenderRaises:
on wrong arguments - Renders:registerType (name, lib)
-
Register a render of given named type.
This will typically be "Result" or "Report".
Parameters:
Returns:
RenderRaises:
on wrong arguments - Renders:find (name)
-
Find render of the correct named type.
This will typically be "Result" or "Report".
Parameters:
