NewCMYKAxialShader

Vector graphics, Color

Version history

This function was introduced in Quick PDF Library version 12.13.

Description

This function adds an axial shader to the current document. The color is varied linearly from one CMYK color to another between two points and is used for linear gradient fills.

The shader can be used with the SetTextShader, SetLineShader and SetFillShader functions to set the color of subsequently drawn vector graphics and text.

Parameters

ShaderName	The name of the shader. Should be a simple string consisting of alphanumeric characters and no whitespace. This name is used with the SetTextShader, SetLineShader and SetFillShader functions.
StartX	The horizontal co-ordinate of the start point
StartY	The vertical co-ordinate of the start point
StartCyan	The cyan component of the start color
StartMagenta	The magenta component of the start color
StartYellow	The yellow component of the start color
StartBlack	The black component of the start color
EndX	The horizontal co-ordinate of the end point
EndY	The vertical co-ordinate of the end point
EndCyan	The cyan component of the end color
EndMagenta	The magenta component of the end color
EndYellow	The yellow component of the end color
EndBlack	The black component of the end color
Extend	0 = do not extend the beyond the start and end points 1 = extend the shader using solid color

Return values

0	The shader could not be added, possibly a shader with this name has already been added
1	The shader was added successfully
