Glint is Elixir's native vector graphics format. It is designed to be extremely compact to minimize network traffic and reduce memory requirements on low-end machines, including Java2 Micro Edition devices. It supports precise twip-based vector graphics and page-on-demand access. The Glint files are saved with .glint extension.

The Glint render properties contain a single Tree checkbox. By default Glint does not render in Tree mode; this is primarily for use with Elixir Report Mobile Edition(ERME) when we want to output data to small screens like handphones. Instead of producing long documents it breaks up the documents into multiple hyperlinked pages in a tree structure.

In order to generate the Glint file in tree format you need to set the Table of Contents to true by selecting the enabled check box in the property sheet for the Group Header you want to use. All child details will be rendered on subsequent pages with hyperlinks to them from the group summary. The Data to be displayed in the hyperlink is entered using the standard Data Wizard.
