Customizing a way in which semi-transparent objects will blend on a canvas in PDF Mosaic library

C# :

using PDFMosaic;
using System.Drawing;
 
namespace BlendMode
{
  class BlendMode
  {
    static void Main()
    {
      PDFDocument document = new PDFDocument();
      document.Pages.Add(new PDFPage(PDFPaperFormat.A4));
      PDFCanvas canvas = document.Pages[0].Canvas;
 
      PDFDeviceColor red = new PDFColorRGB(255, 0, 0);
      PDFDeviceColor green = new PDFColorRGB(0, 255, 0);
      PDFDeviceColor blue = new PDFColorRGB(0, 0, 255);
      PDFSolidBrush brushRed = new PDFSolidBrush(red);
      PDFSolidBrush brushGreen = new PDFSolidBrush(green);
      PDFSolidBrush brushBlue = new PDFSolidBrush(blue);
      PDFSolidPen pen = new PDFSolidPen();
 
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushRed, 300, 300, 50);
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushGreen, 300, 350, 50);
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushBlue, 350, 300, 50);
      canvas.BlendMode = PDFBlendMode.Screen;
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushRed, 100, 100, 50);
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushGreen, 100, 150, 50);
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushBlue, 150, 100, 50);
      canvas.BlendMode = PDFBlendMode.Darken;
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushRed, 300, 100, 50);
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushGreen, 300, 150, 50);
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushBlue, 350, 100, 50);
      canvas.BlendMode = PDFBlendMode.Hue;
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushRed, 100, 300, 50);
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushGreen, 100, 350, 50);
      canvas.DrawCircle(brushBlue, 150, 300, 50);
 
      document.Save("BlendMode.pdf", true);
    }
  }
}
