cpdf_setflat

Name

cpdf_setflat — Sets flatness

Synopsis

bool cpdf_setflat(pdfdoc, flatness); resource pdfdoc: PDF document identifier double flatness: Flatness value

Returns

TRUE on success or FALSE on error

Description

Sets the maximum distance between the object path and an approximation constructed from straight lines. flatness can take a value from 0 to 100. The default value of flatness is 0 which is reset at the beginning of each page. For example, when an arc is drawn with a high value of cpdf_setflat() , the number of lines drawn to make up the arc is decreased, leading to a less smoothly curved drawing.

Version

Since versions 3.0.8 and 4.0

// set flatness
