Problems with alpha transparency and Eps-Export

Post by Reinhard » Sun Aug 20, 2006 4:06 pm

Hit there,

I'm using org.jibble.epsgraphics.EpsGraphics2D to save charts as EPS. It works nearly perfect. The only problem I have, when I save a chart with alpha transparency:

subplotOben.setForegroundAlpha(0.5f);

The transparency effect gets lost in the eps? Has anyone an idea or a workaround?

Thank you very much!!!!

Best

Reinhard

I think this is because Postscript doesn't have support for transparency.
