Here is how I make transparent polygon graphic objects: (graphic object) style = polygon filled = true fill = 255,255,255 (white) ink: on Win - set ink to "srcAnd" on Mac - set ink to "transparent" I've found this to be very reliable on both platforms. --Leston >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: john silver ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: Re: graphics and inks Metacard HELP says to have a transparent graphic that will detect mouseclicks, you set the file property to true and the ink to "noop". This works fine with rectangle graphics, but not with polygon graphics. When a card containing the graphic is opened for the first time, rectangle graphics will be transparent, as advertised, but polygons will show the reverse color (eg. pink if over green) of whatever is under the graphic. Actually the color is only seen in about 90% of the graphic. This occurs on the Mac with versions 2.2 and 2.3B. Things worked fine on previous versions. You can get the color to go away by editing the polygon; afterwards the polygon is transparent. I am hoping that this can be fixed, because filled tranparent polygons are a very useful tool! John T.
