Hello,
is it possible to somehow set transluency or transparency of several objects? The example should clarify, what I need: I have a template for company documents, which has some text, lines and graphics (external pdf or png) in its footer. Now I want to make the header be less visible than the rest of the page. Surely I can set a color of the text to gray and edit the image, but is there some other way?
best regards Jan
See page 204, section 8.5 of the metafun book loadfigure "gracht.mp" number 1 scaled .5 ; addto currentpicture also (currentpicture softened .8) shifted (bbwidth(currentpicture)+.5cm,0) ; (this example draws the picture alongside its "softened" copy.) Alan
