Description
Sets text draw mode.The text draw mode specifies how text should be rendered. Texts can be used as clipping paths such as normal vector graphics; however, the usage is not the same. To use a text as clipping path save the graphics state, set the text draw mode to a clipping mode, paint the objects which should be clipped into the path and restore the graphics state.
Note that the functions DynaPDF.BeginClipPath and DynaPDF.ClipPath can not be used to define a text as clipping path.
Default value = Normal
