Un rectangle, quatre masques

Le même rectangle uni quatre fois de suite, chacun sous un masque différent — un fondu en dégradé, un assombrissement des bords, des lettres découpées dedans, et une découpe lue sur la transparence — plus un bandeau qui s'efface, avec à l'intérieur une étiquette qui, elle, reste entière.

"""Fades, vignettes and cut-out letters, all from soft masks.

The Python twin of the `write_soft_mask` example in Rust. A soft mask is a
drawing composited apart from the page and then read as a coverage rather than
shown: where it comes out light, what the state paints goes through whole; where
it comes out dark, nothing does. The same four panels are painted the same way —
one flat rectangle each — and differ only in the mask in force.

The page is held in `Words`, once per language, and `HQF_PDF_LANG` picks which set is
drawn. The two words the third mask is drawn in are language as much as the captions
are: they are what the panel is seen through.

Usage: python examples/write_soft_mask.py [out.pdf] [font.ttf]
