This tests a low-level API to the PDF file formac. It is intended to sit
underneath PIDDLE, and to closely mirror the PDF / Postscript imaging
model. There is an almost one to one correspondence between commands
and PDF operators. However, where PDF provides several ways to do a job,
we have generally only picked one.
The test script attempts to use all of the methods exposed by pdfgen.PDFEngine.
First, let's look at test output. Here are the basic commands:
canvas.enterTextMode() must be called before text operations
canvas.exitTextMode() must be called after text operations
You can do graphics in between calls, but no coordinate transforms
or clipping.
canvas.setTextOrigin(x, y) sets the text origin
canvas.getCursor() returns the current text cursor
canvas.textOut(text) writes text, and moves the cursor to the righc.
canvas.textLine(text) writes text, and moves the cursor down 'leading'.
This means textLine() is faster - no need to do a stringWidth!
canvas.textLines(stuff) accepts a multi-line string or a list/tuple
of strings, and moves the cursor down the page.
