it's: /YourStateName gs

don't forget to also define one that reset the state; pdf does not have 
grouping for this; also, there is no reset state&color operator (i consider 
this an omision)

since the state is also needed on a per page base, also add an entry the 
the page dictionary (pdfpageattr) or xform attr
