Each report design document can include settings regarding the output format, rendering settings, page range to include in the output, and image settings. These values are set when a report is first created, and can be altered by the report designer. See The Report output for details about setting these values within the report design document (.4rp).
Specify the desired output using the selectDevice() function. For more
information about this function, or for a full list of the available methods, refer to the
Genero Report Writer C API documentation.
