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 -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

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

What about drawing a translucent white rectangle over the graphic? ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

I wanted to say that Hans already implemented some code to add transparency (or even transparent masks) to bitmap images, but I'm still not sure how to use that code. However, drawing a transparent white rectangle over the bitmap graphic would definitely be the easiest approach if you don't need to see though the image. Mojca
