SYNOPSIS
#include<panda/constants.h>
#include<panda/functions.h>

DESCRIPTION
<command>PANDA INTERNAL</command>. Create a new object within the PDF
document output. The types of object are panda_object_normal and

wont be written out when the PDF is dumped to disc. This is an internal
function call and would only be need by API users if they are creating
support for object types not currently supported by <com‐
mand>Panda</command>. If this is the case, then these users are encour‐
aged to submit their code changes back to mikal@stillhq.com for inclu‐
sion with the next release of <command>Panda</command>, and are
reminded of their obligations under the GNU GPL.
RETURNS
A pointer to the new object (a panda_object *)
