Sets a constant alpha value (0-255) for this image.

 

   

Syntax
 

[C#]
void SetAlpha(double alpha)

[Visual Basic]
Sub SetAlpha(alpha As Double)

 

   

Params
 
Name Description
alpha A constant alpha value to assign to this image.

 

   

Notes
 

Assigns a constant alpha transparency to the PixMap.

The alpha value should range from 0 (fully transparent) to 255 (fully opaque). Any values outside this range will result in the alpha channel being removed.

 

   

Example
 

Here we add an image without transparency and then, at a position down and to the right, with 50% transparency.

 

using var doc = new Doc(); doc.Rect.Pin = XRect.Corner.TopLeft; doc.Rect.Magnify(0.5, 0.5); string path = Server.MapPath("../mypics/mypic.jpg"); doc.AddImageFile(path, 1); doc.Rect.Move(doc.Rect.Width, -doc.Rect.Height); int i = doc.AddImageFile(path, 1); var im = (ImageLayer)doc.ObjectSoup[i]; im.PixMap.SetAlpha(128); doc.Save(Server.MapPath("pixmapsetalpha.pdf"));
