Ohhh,

I think I've realised what my problem is, not with [alpha] at all.

I think the colorspace being used by default happens to be RGBA on my linux PC and YUV on Mac OS.

So a [pix_rgba] should solve my problem and elminate all differences.

Just out of curiosity, who is responsible for determining the color space used by default?

thanks

Hi,

The attached patch works as expected in Linux, but in Mac OS the
rectangle with the texture generated by pix_movement is not transparent.
It is a black-and-white opaque image.

[pix_movement] SEEMS to be working as expected and generating the
correct alpha channel (judging from the values I got with a [pix_blob]
in mode "4"), so I think it is [alpha] that is not actually enabling alpha.

I have Linux and don't have a Mac, and when I observed the issue I
couldn't take the time to do the obvious tests (such as trying with a
solid color with alpha and no texture at all, and trying pix_image with
a png image with alpha channel).

Can anybody confirm this?

I also tried sending [alpha] a "1" on the left inlet (not necessary in
linux), just in case alpha was disabled by default in MacOS but that
didn't help.

Is there some extra thing I have to do in order to have alpha work in
Mac OS?

I am using GEM 0.92.3 in Linux and I think the same in Mac (the one
bundled in the latest Pd Extended).

Thanks in advance
m.
