Returns a map with the resources.

Returns:

the resources

getLength

public long getLength(Map<Integer,PdfObject> res)

Returns the resources needed for the object that was used to create this PdfResourceCounter. If you pass a Map with resources that were already used by other objects, these objects will not be taken into account.

Parameters:

res - the resources that can be excluded when counting the bytes

Returns:

the number of bytes needed for an object

Throws:
