Is it possible to create a semi-transparent figure? [message #148215]

Hi,

Well, the subject line says it all... But in other words, can I set a figure
to be, say, 30% transparent?

Thanks

A figure is nothing more than paint calls. None of the painting API
supports transparency. However, an Image may contain an alpha mask which
may be 8-bit depth. So you can fake it with Images, but it's very slow and
memory intensive if you need to do anything large.
