// Package draw2dpdf provides a graphic context that can draw vector
// graphics and text on pdf file with the gofpdf package.
//
// Quick Start
//
// The following Go code generates a simple drawing and saves it to a
// pdf document:
//   // Initialize the graphic context on an RGBA image
//   dest := draw2dpdf.NewPdf("L", "mm", "A4")
//   gc := draw2d.NewGraphicContext(dest)
//
//   // Set some properties
//   gc.SetFillColor(color.RGBA{0x44, 0xff, 0x44, 0xff})
//   gc.SetStrokeColor(color.RGBA{0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0xff})
//   gc.SetLineWidth(5)
//
//   // Draw a closed shape
//   gc.MoveTo(10, 10) // should always be called first for a new path
//   gc.LineTo(100, 50)
//   gc.QuadCurveTo(100, 10, 10, 10)
//   gc.Close()
//   gc.FillStroke()
//
//   // Save to file
//   draw2dpdf.SaveToPdfFile("hello.pdf", dest)
//
