30 * Base class for writing Screens that output binary data. This class
31 * is provided as a helper class for those who want to write Screens
32 * that output raw binary data. For example, it may be extended into
33 * a Screen that outputs a SVG file or a SWF (Flash Player format)
34 * movie. The only thing one has to do is to implement the two
35 * methods <code>getContentType(PipelineData data)</code> and
36 * <code>doOutput(PipelineData data)</code> (see below).
