SECTION 4.

3 159 Graphics State

TR2 function, array, or name (Optional; PDF 1.3) Same as TR except that the value may also be the
name Default, denoting the transfer function that was in effect at the start of the page. If both TR
and TR2 are present in the same graphics state parameter dic- tionary, TR2 takes precedence.

HT dictionary, stream, or name (Optional) The halftone dictionary or stream (see Section 6.4,
"Halftones") or the name Default, denoting the halftone that was in effect at the start of the page.

FL number (Optional; PDF 1.3) The flatness tolerance (see Section 6.5.1, "Flatness Toler- ance").

SM number (Optional; PDF 1.3) The smoothness tolerance (see Section 6.5.2, "Smooth- ness
Tolerance").

SA Boolean (Optional) A flag specifying whether to apply automatic stroke adjustment (see Section
6.5.4, "Automatic Stroke Adjustment").

BM name or array (Optional; PDF 1.4) The current blend mode to be used in the transparent
imaging model (see Sections 7.2.4, "Blend Mode," and 7.5.2, "Specifying Blending Color Space and
Blend Mode").

SMask dictionary or name (Optional; PDF 1.4) The current soft mask, specifying the mask shape or
mask opacity values to be used in the transparent imaging model (see "Source Shape and Opacity"
on page 421 and "Mask Shape and Opacity" on page 443).

Note: Although the current soft mask is sometimes referred to as a "soft clip," altering it with the gs
operator completely replaces the old value with the new one, rather than intersecting the two as is
done with the current clipping path parameter (see Section 4.4.3, "Clipping Path Operators").

CA number (Optional; PDF 1.4) The current stroking alpha constant, specifying the con- stant shape
or constant opacity value to be used for stroking operations in the transparent imaging model (see
"Source Shape and Opacity" on page 421 and "Constant Shape and Opacity" on page 444).

ca number (Optional; PDF 1.4) Same as CA, but for nonstroking operations.

AIS boolean (Optional; PDF 1.4) The alpha source flag ("alpha is shape"), specifying whether the
current soft mask and alpha constant are to be interpreted as shape values (true) or opacity values
(false).

TK boolean (Optional; PDF 1.4) The text knockout flag, which determines the behavior of
overlapping glyphs within a text object in the transparent imaging model (see Section 5.2.7, "Text
Knockout").

(Optional; PDF 1.4) The current stroking alpha constant, specifying the con- stant shape or constant
opacity value to be used for stroking operations in the transparent imaging model (see "Source
Shape and Opacity" on page 421 and "Constant Shape and Opacity" on page 444).

(Optional; PDF 1.4) Same as CA, but for nonstroking operations.

(Optional; PDF 1.4) The alpha source flag ("alpha is shape"), specifying whether the current soft mask
and alpha constant are to be interpreted as shape values (true) or opacity values (false).
