= PDF::Writer Demo Programs This package is a collection of demo programs for PDF::Writer for Ruby version 1.1.3, intended for users of the RubyGems package, because the demo programs are not easily accessible. This package includes: manual.pwd:: The text version of the PDF manual. manual.pdf:: A pregenerated version of the PDF manual. chunkybacon.rb:: A simple program to insert three images and two lines of text code.rb:: An example of a custom text formatting tag. Note that this tag doesn't *quite* work as it should because of an as-yet unidentified bug in PDF::Writer's tag handling code. colornames.rb:: A program to generate colour names known to the color-tools package. demo.rb:: Generates gradients and coloured text. gettysburg.rb:: Creates a PDF with the Gettysburg Address wrapped in a rounded rectangle. hello.rb:: A simple "Hello, Ruby" application for PDF::Writer. individual-i.rb:: An example of drawing a vector graphic with PDF::Writer, translated from the Individual I website's EPS version of the logo. pac.rb:: A vector graphics image based on a famous video game. pagenumber.rb:: An example for showing PDF::Writer's page numbering. qr-language.rb:: Generates a quick reference sheet for the Ruby language. Based on Ryan Davis's quick reference sheet. qr-library.rb:: Generates a quick reference sheet for the Ruby standard library. Based on Ryan Davis's quick reference sheet.
