Arbitrary transparency takes more work in the exporters -- I'm fairly sure the internal rendering can handling it.

So invisible (as opposed to transparent) text would not be counted towards diagram extents? If that's not the point, I don't know what there is to toggling visibility that transparency doesn't handle. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
