Can anyone tell me how to make an image I am drawing in the overlay
planes semi-transparent so that I can still see the underlying database
through it?
The image in question is an array of colour index pixels in the range
1 to 7. I use a call to pfuMapWinColors to setup the colour map starting
at index 1. My image has specially been "fixed" just to have 7 colours
in but this could be reduced to 5 if necessary. I am using the
glDrawPixels call to draw the image. I am currently doing this
in the perfly code, file perfly.c, routine drawOverlayName. The image
is currently being drawn ok but I want it transparent rather than solid.
Can anyone help?
Thanks to those who replied to my question about EarthSky and database
tearing. I actually wrote on behalf of a colleague who is abroad. I have
not forgotten - just been sidetracked for a while.
