## Class PageProvider

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.PageProvider

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Constants

      public class PageProvider
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements Constants

  This class delivers Page instances. It also caches them as necessary.

  Additional functionality makes sure that surplus instances that are requested by the page breaker are properly discarded, especially in situations where hard breaks cause blank pages. The reason for that: The page breaker sometimes needs to preallocate additional pages since it doesn't know exactly until the end how many pages it really needs.

      Parameters:
        `startPage` - the number of the first page for the element list.
        `startColumn` - the starting column number for the element list.
