/**
 * Interface for rendering tesseract results into a document, such as text,
 * HOCR or pdf. This class is abstract. Specific classes handle individual
 * formats. This interface is then used to inject the renderer class into
 * tesseract when processing images.
 *
 * For simplicity implementing this with tesesract version 3.01,
 * the renderer contains document state that is cleared from document
 * to document just as the TessBaseAPI is. This way the base API can just
 * delegate its rendering functionality to injected renderers, and the
 * renderers can manage the associated state needed for the specific formats
 * in addition to the heuristics for producing it.
