CanvasBGRA transparency

[petevick]

Is there anyway of making a CanvasBGRA background transparent?. I'd want to be able to draw on the BGRABitmap but also draw on the BGRABitmap's CanvasBGRA, so to be able to see both means the CanvasBGRA needs to have a transparent background. Everything I've tried has resulted in a black background for the CanvasBGRA.

Hello @petevick,

CanvasBGRA is a way of accessing the image and the image can have a transparent background. When you create the image, you can pass a color as parameter, or you can omit the parameter or use the value BGRAPixelTransparent. This way the image starts by being transparent.

CanvasBGRA is not a layer, so if you would like to manager layers, you need either to create multiple images, one for each layer and one for the merged result, or use a layered bitmap, like the TBGRALayeredImage class.
