[mcclim-devel] opacity / translucency

[nik gaffney]

hello,

after some basic experimentation with setting the 'opacity' of various
inks, and attempting to compose-in/compose-over, im unable to find an
obvious way to blend freshly drawn pixels (eg. using draw-line*) over
previously drawn pixels.

is it at all possible using the x11 (or potentially the beagle)
backend to draw transparent/translucent objects in mcclim panes? the
clim reference suggests it should be, . ..

if such blending is not currently supported, could anyone suggest a
method to simulate it?
   (a partially flipping +flipping-ink+ ??)

thanks,
nik
