// Save the current render mode.
go.push(Go.RENDER_MODE);

// Set the render mode to Go.FEEDBACK
go.renderMode(Go.FEEDBACK);

// Render something.
go.render(myData);

// Restore the render mode.
go.pop(Go.RENDER_MODE);

// Create the Adobe Illustrator file.
GoAdobeIllustrator file = new GoAdobeIllustrator(go, "myArt.ai", GoAdobeIllustrator.VERSION_8);

// Write out the content of Go's feedback buffer.
file.writeFeedback();

// Flush and close the file.
file.close();

// Remember to clear the feedback buffer.
go.clear(Go.FEEDBACK);
