PANDA_NEWOBJECT(3)                                          PANDA_NEWOBJECT(3)


NAME

       panda_newobject - create a new object


SYNOPSIS

        #include<panda/constants.h>
        #include<panda/functions.h>
        panda_object *panda_newobject (panda_pdf *output, int type);


DESCRIPTION

       <command>PANDA INTERNAL</command>. Create a new object within the PDF
       document output. The types of object are panda_object_normal and
       panda_object_placeholder -- the difference is that a placeholder object
       wont be written out when the PDF is dumped to disc. This is an internal
       function call and would only be need by API users if they are creating
       support for object types not currently supported by
       <command>Panda</command>. If this is the case, then these users are
       encouraged to submit their code changes back to mikal@stillhq.com for
       inclusion with the next release of <command>Panda</command>, and are
       reminded of their obligations under the GNU GPL.


RETURNS

       A pointer to the new object (a panda_object *)


EXAMPLE

        #include<panda/constants.h>
        #include<panda/functions.h>
        panda_pdf *document;
        panda_object *obj;
        panda_init();
        document = panda_open("filename.pdf", "w");
        obj = panda_newobject(document, panda_object_normal);
