Pattern to render information in different ways

Question

I have a class RoomDesign which holds information about the measurements and color of the room for example. I need to be able to render this same information in different ways by a different class. Such as display it graphically with a diagram, or just simple with text. What is the best pattern to use for this kind of design.

You should look into the model-view-controller pattern.

The views would be your renderers (diagram, text etc.) and the model would be your RoomDesign class or maybe a container for multiple room designs.

If you view your RoomDesign as the Model part of Model-View-Controller (MVC), it pretty much speaks for itself. Just keep in mind not to store any purely visual-specific information in your model.

Build and design a room. Aside from model-view-pattern, you can take a look at Builder pattern. Here's a good SO reference.

An example.
