public interface Transparency

The Transparency interface defines the common transparency modes for implementing classes.

Field Summary
static int	BITMASK Represents image data that is guaranteed to be either completely opaque, with an alpha value of 1.0, or completely transparent, with an alpha value of 0.0.
static int	OPAQUE Represents image data that is guaranteed to be completely opaque, meaning that all pixels have an alpha value of 1.0.
static int	TRANSLUCENT Represents image data that contains or might contain arbitrary alpha values between and including 0.0 and 1.0.

Method Summary
int	getTransparency() Returns the type of this Transparency.
