A number of -the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments -that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported -to provide similar functionality.

These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests -complete. - -Please note that these examples run in the context of a test.

This comparison will be performed if a PDF -with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference -directory and if the third argument to ComparePDFFiles() in -internal/example/example.go is true.

The routine that -summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call -ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. -If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard -output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison -is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the -placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation -timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and -SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically -for all examples. +A side effect of running `go test ./...` is the production of a number +of example PDFs.
