Description
The function sets the current fill color as an array of float values.The components of non-Lab color spaces must be in the range from 0 through 1. The *a and *b components of a Lab color space are typically in a range from -128 though 127. The *L component ranges from 0 through 100.
The number of components must match the number of components of the underlying color space. You can add an alpha value on the end.
For a grayscale color, please pass 3 times the gray level for a RGB color.
This function takes variable number of parameters. Pass as much parameters as needed separated by the semicolon in FileMaker.
Please repeat Value parameter as often as you need.

# Write some text
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.WriteText"; $pdf; 100; $x; "Some cyan text")]
# now switch back to RGB
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "DynaPDF.SetColorSpace"; $pdf; "DeviceRGB" )]
Draw line in a separation color:
# draw line in Cut Color
Set Variable [ $cs ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.CreateSeparationCS"; $pdf; "Through Cut"; "DeviceCMYK"; -1; MBS("DynaPDF.CMYK"; 0; 255; 0; 0)) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.SetExtColorSpace"; $pdf; $cs) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.SetFillColor"; $pdf; 1) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "DynaPDF.Rectangle"; $pdf; $x; $y; $w; $h; "Stroke" ) ]
Set RGB color:
# Red 247 Green 162 Blue 53
MBS( "DynaPDF.SetFillColor"; $PDF; 247/255; 162/255; 53/255 )
Set color to white for RGB:
MBS( "DynaPDF.SetFillColor"; $PDF; 1.0; 1.0; 1.0 )
Set color with integer values in range of 0 to 255:
MBS( "DynaPDF.SetFillColor"; $PDF; $red / 255.0; $green / 255.0; /blue / 255.0 )
