Transparency
This demo shows the simple usage of external graphic state objects which allow you to define opacity values for stroking and non-stroking operations.
To simplify the demo we simply re-draw an image with different opacity values.
PHP
<?php
// load and register the autoload function
require_once '../../../../../bootstrap.php';

$canvas = $page->getCanvas();
$image->draw($canvas, 30, 600, 250);
// create a graphic state with opacity set to 0.7
$gs = new SetaPDF_Core_Resource_ExtGState();
$gs->setConstantOpacity(.7);
$gs->setConstantOpacityNonStroking(.7);
$gs->getIndirectObject($document);
// and draw the image
$canvas->saveGraphicState();
$canvas->setGraphicState($gs);
