Hello,

Exporting to Cairo png with alpha produced shapes with transparent
bakcground while export to svg produced image with white background
and shapes on it.
However, I am satisfied with Cairo png with alpha format.
I need it in teh following scenarion.:
1. I create diagram that should be put in the doucment with specific
bakground. Thus, diagram should be transparent so the shapes (black
lines) do have good contrast on existing document.  That is all I
need.

However, Cairo png with alpha is good solution for now.

Thanks,

VV
