Dataentry 168 Compress37

This document describes the graphics state parameters in PDF, including: 1. Dash pattern, rendering intent, stroke adjustment, blend mode, soft mask, alpha constant, and alpha source - which control how paths are stroked and images are composited. 2. Initial values for these parameters: solid line, RelativeColorimetric intent, no stroke adjustment, Normal blend mode, no soft mask, alpha constant of 1.0, and alpha source set to opacity. 3. Some parameters like blend mode and soft mask are reset when transparency group XObjects are executed.

SECTION 4.

3 149 Graphics State

dash pattern array and number A description of the dash pattern to be used when paths
are stroked (see "Line Dash Pattern" on page 155). Initial value: a solid line.

rendering intent name The rendering intent to be used when converting CIE-based colors
to device colors (see "Rendering Intents" on page 197). Default value: RelativeColorimetric.

stroke adjustment Boolean (PDF 1.2) A flag specifying whether to compensate for possible
ras- terization effects when stroking a path with a line width that is small relative to the pixel
resolution of the output device (see Sec- tion 6.5.4, "Automatic Stroke Adjustment"). Note that this
is con- sidered a device-independent parameter, even though the details of its effects are device-
dependent. Initial value: false.

blend mode name or array (PDF 1.4) The current blend mode to be used in the transparent
imaging model (see Sections 7.2.4, "Blend Mode," and 7.5.2, "Spec- ifying Blending Color Space and
Blend Mode"). This parameter is implicitly reset to its initial value at the beginning of execution of a
transparency group XObject (see Section 7.5.5, "Transparency Group XObjects"). Initial value:
Normal.

soft mask dictionary or name (PDF 1.4) A soft-mask dictionary (see "Soft-Mask Dictionaries"
on page 445) specifying the mask shape or mask opacity values to be used in the transparent
imaging model (see "Source Shape and Opacity" on page 421 and "Mask Shape and Opacity" on page
443), or the name None if no such mask is specified. This parameter is implicitly reset to its initial
value at the beginning of execution of a transparency group XObject (see Section 7.5.5,
"Transparency Group XObjects"). Initial value: None.

alpha constant number (PDF 1.4) The constant shape or constant opacity value to be
used in the transparent imaging model (see "Source Shape and Opacity" on page 421 and "Constant
Shape and Opacity" on page 444). There are two separate alpha constant parameters: one for
stroking and one for all other painting operations. This parameter is implic- itly reset to its initial
value at the beginning of execution of a trans- parency group XObject (see Section 7.5.5,
"Transparency Group XObjects"). Initial value: 1.0.

alpha source Boolean (PDF 1.4) A flag specifying whether the current soft mask
and alpha constant parameters are to be interpreted as shape values (true) or opacity values (false).
This flag also governs the interpretation of the SMask entry, if any, in an image dictionary (see
Section 4.8.4, "Image Dictionaries"). Initial value: false.
