public class Function_4
extends Function

Type 4 Function (PDF 1.3), also called a PostScript calculator function, shall be represented as a stream containing code written n a small subset of the PostScript language.

Type 4 functions offer greater flexibility and potentially greater accuracy then exponential functions (type 2 functions). Type 4 functions also make it possible to include a wide variety of halftone spots functions without the loss of accuracy that comes from sampling, and without adding to the list a predefined spot function (10.5.3 spot functions). All of the predefined spot functions can be written as type 4 functions.
