new Image()

Image class provides common methods for working with PDF images. Note: PDF::Element contains a similar interface used to access image data. To create the Image object from image PDF::Element, pass the Element's SDF/Cos dictionary to Image constructor (i.e. Image image(element->GetXObject()) )

setMask(image_mask)

set an Explicit Image Mask.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`image_mask`	Core.PDFNet.Image	An Image object which serves as an explicit mask for the base (this) image. The base image and the image mask need not have the same resolution (Width and Height values), but since all images are defined on the unit square in user space, their boundaries on the page will coincide; that is, they will overlay each other. The image mask indicates which places on the page are to be painted and which are to be masked out (left unchanged). Unmasked areas are painted with the corresponding portions of the base image; masked areas are not. Note: image_mask must be a valid image mask (i.e. image_mask.IsImageMask() must return true.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

setMaskWithObj(mask)

set a Color Key Mask.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`mask`	Core.PDFNet.Obj	is an Cos/SDF array specifying a range of colors to be masked out. Samples in the image that fall within this range are not painted, allowing the existing background to show through. The effect is similar to that of the video technique known as chroma-key. For details of the array format please refer to section 4.8.5 'Color Key Masking' in PDF Reference Manual. Note: the current document takes the ownership of the given SDF object.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

setSoftMask(soft_mask)

set a Soft Mask.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`soft_mask`	Core.PDFNet.Image	is a subsidiary Image object defining a soft-mask image (See section 7.5.4 'Soft-Mask Images' in PDF Reference Manual) to be used as a source of mask shape or mask opacity values in the transparent imaging model. The alpha source parameter in the graphics state determines whether the mask values are interpreted as shape or opacity.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>
