Is it possible to PAINT with transparency? (Using Transparency instead of a color).

Is there an explicit feature to paint with transparency? Or would I have to use a workaround?: First panting with an unused color, and then, at OnMouseUp, automatically transforming the paint color to transparency?

Hi Peter

Using a brush? You can do it as follows:

ImageEnView1.BrushTool.BrushFill     := iebfEraser;
ImageEnView1.BrushTool.EraserOpacity := 1.0;
ImageEnView1.MouseInteractGeneral    := [ miBrushTool ];

Hi Nigel,

The iebfEraser BrushTool does TWO things:

1. it removes the COLOR from the erased area
2. it sets the ALPHA transparency in the erased area

However, I EXPLICITLY need ONLY the second part: Setting the ALPHA transparency in the erased area (WITHOUT removing the color from the erased area).

How can I achieve this?

Thanks. Perhaps implement it as an option of the iebfEraser BrushTool. So I could show a CheckBox to the user where he can select whether he wants to remove the color or not.

I am looking forward to it.

Hi

In the current beta you can use:

ImageEnView1.BrushTool.EraserColor := clNone;
