.IX Subsection "PDF::Array->new($parent, @values)"
Creates an array with the given storage parent and an optional list of values to
initialise the array with.
.ie n .SS "$a\->outobjdeep($fh, $pdf)"
.el .SS "\f(CW$a\fP\->outobjdeep($fh, \f(CW$pdf\fP)"
.IX Subsection "$a->outobjdeep($fh, $pdf)"
Outputs an array as a PDF array to the given filehandle.
.ie n .SS $a\->\fBelements()\fP
.el .SS \f(CW$a\fP\->\fBelements()\fP
.IX Subsection "$a->elements()"
Returns the contents of the array.
.ie n .SS $a\->add_elements(@elements)
.el .SS \f(CW$a\fP\->add_elements(@elements)

.ie n .SS $a\->copy($pdf)
.el .SS \f(CW$a\fP\->copy($pdf)
.IX Subsection "$a->copy($pdf)"

with respect to a particular \f(CW$pdf\fR output context
