Transparency

Hi,

Is it possible to make a part of the image transparent in matlab? Is there any specific function in the Image processing toolbox?

Thanks,

Priya

Transparent when you save it to a file?

Every image object has an AlphaData property. There is no specific function to set this, but you can use set().

If you display the image using image() or imagesc() then you can add an 'AlphaData' option to the call,

image(YourImage,'AlphaData',TheAlphaValues)

Alpha values range from 0 (completely transparent) to 1 (completely opaque)

If you look at:

doc imwrite

PNG and GIF files both support transparency, the doc explains how to set it.
