public class RTFTransfer
extends ByteArrayTransfer

The class RTFTransfer provides a platform specific mechanism for converting text in RTF format represented as a java String to a platform specific representation of the data and vice versa.

An example of a java String containing RTF text is shown below:

     String rtfData = "{\\rtf1{\\colortbl;\\red255\\green0\\blue0;}\\uc1\\b\\i Hello World}";
