All Implemented Interfaces:

PdfOCG

public class PdfLayerMembership
extends PdfDictionary
implements PdfOCG

Content typically belongs to a single optional content group, and is visible when the group is ON and invisible when it is OFF. To express more complex visibility policies, content should not declare itself to belong to an optional content group directly, but rather to an optional content membership dictionary represented by this class.
