Class: GState

PDFNet. GState


new GState()

GState is a class that keeps track of a number of style attributes used to visually define graphical Elements. Each PDF::Element has an associated GState that can be used to query or set various graphics properties. Note: current clipping path is not tracked in the graphics state for efficiency reasons. In most cases tracking of the current clipping path is best left to the client.
