Stick transparency

Overview

The setting "stick_transparency" allows one to set the degree of transparency for stick objects, independent of all other objects. Allowable values range from 0 (fully opaque) to 1 (fully transparent, i.e. invisible).

Settings

set stick_transparency, 0.50   # Makes sticks 50-percent transparent

Examples

• 

  sticks with no transparency

• 

  sticks with 0.5 transparency

• 

  sticks with 0.9 transparency

Note

Stick transparency works best with "unilayer" transparency (Setting menu > transparency > Unilayer) rather than "multilayer", which leads to odd artifacts where the sticks join.

• 

  sticks with 0.5 transparency and multilayer transparency
