Method: HexaPDF::Content::Canvas#context

Defined in:

lib/hexapdf/content/canvas.rb

#context ⇒ Object (readonly)

The context for which the canvas was created (a HexaPDF::Type::Page or HexaPDF::Type::Form object).

The context object is used for two things:

• To store the resources (#resources) that are needed by the canvas (e.g. font references).

• To access the HexaPDF::Document object to which this canvas and the context object belongs. This is used internally but it is also useful in other situations since some parts of HexaPDF only yield a canvas object, and not also the underlying document object.
