Erase parts of a path

[Michael Maier]

Hi,
I'm playing with the drawing functions of PDFHummus at the moment and wondered if it is possible to erase some parts of my drawings. I have the globalCompositeOperation property of HTML5 Canvas in mind. You can use destination-out to erase some parts of drawings you painted with source-over. Is there anything similar in PDFHummus?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Nope.

PDFHummus uses the natural graphics model of PDF, which does not propose such a functionality.

My suggestion is to either erase by using a background color, or recreate the original graphics without the desired cut out area.

Regards,

Gal.
