Re: [Qgis-user] Blending layers question

Hi Matt,
QGIS uses blend modes baked into qtpainter. So the qt library is providing these blend modes. You would have to dig into the qt source code to find out details. See http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qpainter.html#CompositionMode-enum for a starter. 


But I would assume that blend modes are well covered in computer 
graphics literature and you could google some papers. They have been 
around for many years now.

Thanks Nicolas,

yes, I'm aware of those properties. What I'm trying to work out is how 
QGIS does this so I can use it outside of QGIS in another program. 
Some pointers to the sort of questions I should be asking google on 
transparency would be handy.


Thanks

    Hi,

    In your raster properties, you can render layers using various
    methods like add, multiply...  It works very well.  Same options
    are available for vector layer and objects.

        Hi Group,
        this is possibly one of those questions about a question. I'd
        like to create some blended layers that look the same as
        layers in QGIS with transparency applied.
        I've another application that my data lives in and they supply
        a calculator that's able to do some fairly reasonable maths on
        different grids and other types of data.

        How does QGIS do transparency, and can I use those equations /
        method elsewhere.

        Thanks
        Matt
