In order to have more
compability between Windows, TBitmap and TPNGObject features, TPNGObject
introduces three different transparency modes:
-
None -
When there are no transparent areas in the image
-
Bit -
Each pixel may be full transparent or opaque against the background
-
Partial
- Pixels may be translucid (semi transparent)
TPNGObject provides a read-only property to obtain the transparency mode
for the image, TransparentMode
property. Also changing
TransparentColor property changes the image to Bit transparency mode
always, loose partial transparency information.
