# Soft masks are user for more complex alpha channel manipulations. You can use
# arbitrary drawing functions for creation of soft masks. The resulting alpha
# channel is made of greyscale version of the drawing (luminosity channel to be
# precise). So while you can use any combination of colors for soft masks it's
# easier to use greyscales. Black will result in full transparency and white
# will make region fully opaque.
#
# Soft mask is a part of page graphic state. So if you want to apply soft mask
# only to a part of page you need to enclose drawing instructions in
# <code>save_graphics_state</code> block.
