public class PDFShading
extends PDFObject

class representing a PDF Smooth Shading object. PDF Functions represent parameterized mathematical formulas and sampled representations with arbitrary resolution. Functions are used in two areas: device-dependent rasterization information for halftoning and transfer functions, and color specification for smooth shading (a PDF 1.3 feature). All PDF Functions have a shadingType (0,2,3, or 4), a Domain, and a Range.

Method Summary
`protected boolean` | `contentEquals(PDFObject obj)` Check if the other PDFObject has the same content as the current object. Note: This function has a contract which is less binding than `Object.equals(Object)`. Whereas equals would require all values to be identical, this method is not required to check everything. In the case of PDFObjects, this means that the overriding function does not have to check for `PDFObject.getObjectID()`.
`java.lang.String` | `getName()` Get the name of this shading.
`void` | `setName(java.lang.String name)` Sets the name of the shading
`java.lang.String` | `toPDFString()` represent as PDF.

Method Detail

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  Get the name of this shading.

  Returns:
    the name of the shading

### setName

    public void setName(java.lang.String name)

  Sets the name of the shading

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the shading pattern. Can be anything without spaces. "Shading1" or "Sh1" are good examples.

### toPDFString

    public java.lang.String toPDFString()

  represent as PDF. Whatever the shadingType is, the correct representation spits out. The sets of required and optional attributes are different for each type, but if a required attribute's object was constructed as null, then no error is raised. Instead, the malformed PDF that was requested by the construction is dutifully output. This policy should be reviewed.

  Overrides:
    `toPDFString` in class `PDFObject`
  Returns:
    the PDF string.

### contentEquals

    protected boolean contentEquals(PDFObject obj)

  Check if the other PDFObject has the same content as the current object.

  Note: This function has a contract which is less binding than `Object.equals(Object)`. Whereas equals would require all values to be identical, this method is not required to check everything. In the case of PDFObjects, this means that the overriding function does not have to check for `PDFObject.getObjectID()`.

  Overrides:
    `contentEquals` in class `PDFObject`
  Parameters:
    `obj` - object to compare to.
  Returns:
    true if the other object has the same content.
