Maybe I am unaware of the right way to do it, but the only way I can
think to draw several shapes of different transparencies is to create
an image for each layer and then combine them which seems overly
complex. It would be nice to simply be able to specify colors with an
alpha value combined (ie RGBA) for image draw operations.
Is there a way to do this?
Cheers,
Peter
