# Interface: com.pnfsoftware.jeb.core.output.IVisualItem

Visual items are used to attach class information to items. A JEB front\-end can attach styling information to those classes, such as foreground and background colors when the item is either active or inactive, font\-related information, etc. 

 Many items may have the same class ID. Well\-known class IDs are defined in [ItemClassIdentifiers](ItemClassIdentifiers). 

 Note: this class is to be renamed.
