Subject: Re: Create PNG with transparent background
In reply to: glup 's message, "Create PNG with transparent background" on 16:32:03 09/16/03 Tue


Hi Glup,

Here is from the help file:

<<
Transparent images (with palettes and true color) are supported with the TPngGraphic class. In order to create a transparent image, the SaveTransparent property must be set True, and the TransparentColor must be set to a color that exists in the image. The SaveWithBackground and BackgroundColor determine if a default background color will be saved with the transparent image.
>>

So it should be

wPng.SaveTransparent := True;
wPng.TransparentColor := ...
wPng.BackgroundColor := ...

Best regards,

Michel
