The [[_SETALPHA]] statement sets the alpha channel transparency level of some or all of the pixels of an image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
: [[_SETALPHA]] {{Parameter|alpha&}}[, {{Parameter|color1&}}][ [[TO]] {{Parameter|colour2&}}] [, {{Parameter|imageHandle&}}]
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{Parameters}}
|
|
* {{Parameter|alpha&}} is the new alpha level to set, ranging from 0 (transparent) to 255 (opaque).
|
|
* {{Parameter|color1&}} designates the 32-bit [[LONG]] color value or range of color values {{Parameter|color1&}} TO {{Parameter|colour2&}} to set the transparency.
|
|
* If no color value or range of colors is given, the entire image's alpha is changed, including any [[_CLEARCOLOR]] settings.
|
|
* If {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} is omitted, it is assumed to be the current write page or [[_DEST|destination]] image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* In the first syntax, the alpha level of all pixels is set to {{Parameter|alpha&}}.
|
|
* In the second syntax, the alpha level of all pixels matching the color {{Parameter|color1&}} is set to {{Parameter|alpha&}}.
|
|
* In the third syntax, the alpha level of all pixels with red, green, blue and alpha channels in the range [{{Parameter|color1&}} TO {{Parameter|color2&}}] are set.
|
|
* The [[_ALPHA]] setting makes a 32-bit color transparent, opaque or something in between. Zero is clear and 255 totally blocks underlying images. Use it to see through backgrounds or image colors.
|
|
* If {{Parameter|alpha&}} is outside that range, an [[ERROR Codes|illegal function call]] error will occur.
|
|
* If the image specified by {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} uses a palette, an [[ERROR Codes|invalid handle]] error will occur.
|
|
* If {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} is an invalid handle, an [[ERROR Codes|illegal function call]] error will occur.
|
|
* '''NOTE: 32-bit [[_NEWIMAGE]] screen page backgrounds are transparent black or [[_ALPHA]] 0. Use [[_DONTBLEND]] or [[CLS]] for opaque.'''

: ''Explanation:'' The [[POINT]] value minus [[_RGBA]](1, 1, 1, 0) subtracts a small amount from the bright white color value so that the top [[_SETALPHA]] color range will not affect the [[_CLEARCOLOR]] transparency of the bright white PNG background.
