  /** \brief loading of files

  This is a purely virtual method that must be re-implemented. It is
  called when a file should be loaded. The implementation must then do
  the following
  
  - initialize internal data structures so the document pointed to by
  'fname' can be rendered quickly. It is not necessary actually load
  the file; if the implementation choses to load only parts of a large
  file and leave the rest on the disc, this is perfectly fine.
  
  - return 'true' on success and 'false' on failure. Before 'false' is
  returned, the method clear() should be called
  
  When the method returns 'true', it is expected that
  
  - the member _isModified is set to 'false'

  - the member 'numPages' is either set to 0 if the document is empty,
  or else to the number of page in the document
  
  - the vector pageSizes *must* either be empty (e.g. if your file
  format does not specify a page size), or must be of size
  totalPages(), and contain the sizes of all pages in the document.
  
  - the anchorList is filled with data; it is perfectly fine to leave
  the anchorList empty, if your file format does not support anchors,
  or if your document doesn't contain any.
  
  - the list 'bookmarks' is filled with data; it is perfectly fine to
  leave this list empty, if your file format does not support
  bookmarks or if your document doesn't contain any.
  
  - the method drawPage() works
  
  @note It is perfectly possible that setFile() is called several
  times in a row, with the same or with different filenames.
  
  @warning The signal documentIsChanged() must not be emitted while
  the method runs.

  @warning Future versions of kviewshell will use threading to keep
  the GUI responsive while pages are rendered. As a result, IT IS
  ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY that your implementation is THREAD-SAFE, if
  not, this can result in infrequent and very hard-to-find crashes of

  @param fname name of the file to open. It is not guaranteed that the
  file exists, that it is a file, or that it is readable.

  @param base original URL of the file that was opened. 

  If the program that uses this documentRenderer was asked to open
  http://www.kde.org/test.dvi.bz2, then the program would download the
  file to a temporary file and decompress it, generating
  e.g. /tmp/tmp.dvi. In that case, base would be
  http://www.kde.org/test.dvi.bz2, and fname=/tmp/tmp.dvi. The base
  can be used by the documentRenderer to handle relative URLs that
  might be contained in a file. Otherwise, it can safely be ignored.

  @returns 'true' on success and 'false' on failure. Even after this
  method returns 'false' the class must act reasonably, i.e. by
  clear()ing the document

  /** rendering of documents

  This purely virtual method is the most important method in the
  DocumentRenderer class. It must be re-implemented by authors who
  want to write plugins for the kviewshell program. The purpose of
  this method is to render a graphical representation into a
  documentPage structure. More specifically, the implementation needs
  to

  - call the documentPage::clear() on *page

  and the do all of the following, in no particular order

  - obtain the pointer to the TQPaintDevice from the documentPage using
    the documentPage::getPaintDevice() method and draw a graphical
    representation of the page number page->getPageNumber() into the
    TQPaintDevice, using the given resolution. If the member
    accessibilityBackground is true, the accessibilityBackgroundColor
    should be used for a background color, if possible. Otherwise,
    white should be used, if possible. If you need to compute the size
    of the page in pixel, do this as follows:
    @code
    SimplePageSize psize = pageSizes[page->getPageNumber() - 1];
    if (psize.isValid()) {
      int width_in_pixel   = resolution * psize.width().getLength_in_inch();
      int height_in_pixel  = resolution * psize.height().getLength_in_inch();

      <...>
    }
    @endcode
    Don't use page->height() or page->width() to calculate the sizes
    ---KViewShell uses transformations e.g. to rotate the page, and
    sets the argument 'resolution' accordingly; these changes are not
    reflected in page->height() and page->width(). Similar problems
    occur if KViewShell required a shrunken version of the page,
    e.g. to print multiple pages on one sheet of paper.
  
  - if your document contains hyperlinks, fill the
    documentPage::hyperLinkList with HyperLinks, using pixel
    coordinates for the coordinates in the Hyperlink::box member of
    the Hyperlink.  The Hyperlink::baseline member of the Hyperlink
    can be ignored. The linkText member of the Hyperlink should either
    be an absolute URL ("http://www.kde.org"), or be of the form
    "#anch", where the string "anch" is contained in the anchorList.
  
  - if your plugin supports full-text information, fill
    documentPage::textLinkList with HyperLinks, using pixel
    coordinates for the coordinates in the Hyperlink::box and
    Hyperlink::baseline members of the Hyperlink. The entries in the
    documentPage::textLinkList should have a natural ordering, "first
    text first" (left-to-right, up-to-down for western languages,
    right-to-left for hebrew, etc.). This is important so that text
    selection with the mouse works properly, and only continuous
    blocks of text can be selected.

  @note This method is often called in a paintEvent, so that care must
  be taken to return as soon as possible. No user interaction should
  be done during the execution.

  @note If your plugin supports full-text information, you probably
  want to re-implement the method supportsTextSearch() below.

  @warning As mentioned above, it may be tempting to compute the image
  size in pixel, using page->height() and page->width(). DON'T DO
  THAT. KViewShell uses transformations e.g. to rotate the page, and
  sets the argument 'resolution' accordingly; these changes are not
  reflected in page->height() and page->width(). Similar problems
  occur if KViewShell required a shrunken version of the page, e.g. to
  print multiple pages on one sheet of paper.

  @warning The signal documentIsChanged() must not be emitted while the
  method runs.

  @warning Future versions of kviewshell will use threading to keep

  not, this can result in infrequent and very hard-to-find crashes of

  thread-safe.

  @param resolution this argument contains the resolution of the
  display device. In principle. In fact, kviewshell implements zooming
  by using values that are not exactly the resolution of the display,
  but multiplied with the zoom factor. Bottom line: the
  DocumentRenderer should act as if this field indeed tqcontains
  resolution of the display device.
