No. This is not easily accomplished. > Platform3D.clearScreenBuffer seems to be called to set the background > color every time before a Jmol image > is synthesized.

It is probably the case that the Image that is created does not support an alpha channel. > I would appreciate if you could tell where in the source code I should > look at in order to do this. You should not look at the source code. Rather, you should transform image after receiving it from Jmol. Get the Image from Jmol, then transform the image to a new image where the black pixels have a zero alpha channel value. You are going to be laying this image on top of something else anyway. This work will be *much* more easily accomplished within your own code.
