Not a bug, but definately incorrect code in PDPageContentStream
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PDFBOX-405
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-405
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PDModel
         Environment: All
            Reporter: [email protected]


There is some deceiving code in the setStrokingColor(float [] components)  
method. 
It is actually only used for ColorSpace.TYPE_GRAY

The result of the code is the impression that the other cases are handled here 
when they are not.

Here are the details.
package org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.edit;
public class PDPageContentStream

In this class this variable currentStrokingColorSpace never changes value.
    private PDColorSpace currentStrokingColorSpace = new PDDeviceGray();
// The javadoc is incorrect also it should say for the colorspace PDDeviceGray
    /**
     * Set the color components of current stroking colorspace.
     *
     * @param components The components to set for the current color.
     * @throws IOException If there is an error while writing to the stream.
     */
// 
// Some confusing code is below, this method is only called when 
// currentStrokingColorSpace is  ColorSpace.TYPE_GRAY
// This method should be made private, since it is only called within this 
class.
//
    public void setStrokingColor( float[] components ) throws IOException
    {
        for( int i=0; i< components.length; i++ )
        {
            appendRawCommands( formatDecimal.format( components[i] ) );
            appendRawCommands( SPACE );
        }
        //
        // The top half of this "if" statement is never executed 
        // the variable "currentStrokingColorSpace" is never set to 
        // anything other than a new class of type PDDeviceGray.
        // Therefore it can never be any of the 4 types of classes below.
        // 
        if( currentStrokingColorSpace instanceof PDSeparation ||
            currentStrokingColorSpace instanceof PDPattern ||
            currentStrokingColorSpace instanceof PDDeviceN ||
            currentStrokingColorSpace instanceof PDICCBased )
        {
            appendRawCommands( SET_STROKING_COLOR_COMPLEX );
        }
        else
        {
            appendRawCommands( SET_STROKING_COLOR_SIMPLE );
        }
    }
//When the top half of the IF statement is removed, then
//these variables are no longer used.
//
private static final String SET_STROKING_COLOR_COMPLEX="SCN\n";
      private PDColorSpace currentStrokingColorSpace = new PDDeviceGray();
// therefore I believe that you may never generate the value SCN in the 
PageContentStream.
----------------------------
//
// I searched all the code for this method; this is the only one reference to 
the method that I found.
// that is why I believe that the method should be made private.
// However; since it was public in the past, I can't guarantee that someone 
does not call the method.
//
   public void setStrokingColor( Color color ) throws IOException
    {
        ColorSpace colorSpace = color.getColorSpace();
        if( colorSpace.getType() == ColorSpace.TYPE_RGB )
        {
            setStrokingColor( color.getRed(), color.getGreen(),color.getBlue() 
);
        }
        else if( colorSpace.getType() == ColorSpace.TYPE_GRAY )
        {
            color.getColorComponents( colorComponents );
            setStrokingColor( colorComponents[0] ); // <-- this was the only 
reference to the method
        }
