Text rendering modes
There are seven rendering modes for text, set with the
Tr
operator. Four of them are
for setting up text as a clipping path, and one is for writing invisible text. We don't
consider those here. The other three (modes 0, 1, and 2) are used for filling, stroking,
and filling-followed-by-stroking respectively. The colors set in the same way as for
shape drawing:
