# Prawn::Graphics::Transparency

The Prawn::Transparency module is used to place transparent content on the page. It has the capacity for separate transparency values for stroked content and all other content.

Example:

    # both the fill and stroke will be at 50% opacity
    pdf.transparent(0.5) do
      pdf.text("hello world")
      pdf.fill_and_stroke_circle([x, y], 25)
    end

    # the fill will be at 50% opacity, but the stroke will
    # be at 75% opacity
    pdf.transparent(0.5, 0.75) do
      pdf.text("hello world")
      pdf.fill_and_stroke_circle([x, y], 25)
    end

### Public Instance Methods

transparent(opacity, stroke_opacity=opacity, &block) click to toggle source

Sets the `opacity` and `stroke_opacity` for all the content within the `block` If `stroke_opacity` is not provided, then it takes on the same value as `opacity`

Valid ranges for both paramters are 0.0 to 1.0

Example:

    # both the fill and stroke will be at 50% opacity
    pdf.transparent(0.5) do
      pdf.text("hello world")
      pdf.fill_and_stroke_circle([x, y], 25)
    end

    # the fill will be at 50% opacity, but the stroke will
    # be at 75% opacity
    pdf.transparent(0.5, 0.75) do
      pdf.text("hello world")
      pdf.fill_and_stroke_circle([x, y], 25)
    end
