graphics/starter_layer

 * Starter layer:

 * Define several layers, output images and text to them and define

 * particular layers to be visible when opening the document

 *

 * Define two layers for RGB or Grayscale images and two layers for English or

 * German image captions. Output images and text on the various layers and

 * open the document with the RGB images and English captions visible.

 *

 * Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 7

 * Required data: grayscale and RGB images
