(No information)

renderingintent

    $egs->renderingintent($intentName)

(No information)

strokealpha

    $egs->strokealpha($alpha)

The current stroking alpha constant, specifying the constant shape or constant opacity value to be used for stroking operations in the transparent imaging model.

fillalpha

    $egs->fillalpha($alpha)

Same as strokealpha, but for nonstroking (fill) operations.

blendmode

    $egs->blendmode($blendname)

    $egs->blendmode($blendfunctionobj)

The current blend mode to be used in the transparent imaging model.

alphaisshape

    $egs->alphaisshape($boolean)

The alpha source flag (alpha is shape), specifying whether the current soft mask and alpha constant are to be interpreted as shape values (true) or opacity values (false).

textknockout

    $egs->textknockout($boolean)

opacity

    $egs->opacity($op)
