Transparency cell (Layers section)

Microsoft Office ShapeSheet

Transparency cell (Layers section)

       Rows

Determines the transparency level for a layer color.

Value

Description

0 – 100

Represents the percentage of transparency. The default is 0% (completely opaque).

Remarks

Values are rounded to the nearest half percent. A value of 100% is completely transparent. Although a layer with completely transparent color appears the same as a layer with no color on the drawing page, it will interact with other objects on the page in the same ways as if its transparency is 0%. You can also set this value using the slider control in the Layer Properties dialog box (click Layer properties on the View menu).

To reference the Transparency cell by name from another formula, or from a program using the Cells property, use:

Cell name:

Layers.ColorTrans[i]
where i = <1>, 2, 3…

To reference the Transparency cell by index from a program, use the CellsSRC property with the following arguments:

Section index:

visSectionLayer

Row index:

visRowLayer + i
where i = 0, 1, 2…

Cell index:

visLayerColorTrans
