[comp.unix.ultrix] DEC PHIGS and transparency

cbs+@cs.cmu.edu (Clauss Strauch) (02/15/91)

I would like to be able to draw transparent polygons using DEC PHIGS.  I've
tried various values for the "trans" field in the surface structure that is 
passed to ppsetsurfprop(), but haven't had any success.  The documentation 
hasn't been very helpful in this regard.  Am I missing some obvious "gotcha,"
or could somebody mail me a short code sample that shows how to get 
transparency to work?
	I'm using DEC PHIGS V2.2 on a DS5000 PXG/Turbo running Ultrix 4.1.
