NAME

DoTranspSwitch − Create a primitive attribute object for enabling or disabling transparency

SYNOPSIS

C:

DtObject DoTranspSwitch(switchvalue)
DtSwitch switchvalue;

FORTRAN:

INTEGER∗4 DOTS(SWVAL)
INTEGER∗4 SWVAL

DESCRIPTION

DoTranspSwitch creates a transparent switch primitive attribute object.  The parameter switchvalue specifies whether the surfaces of subsequent primitive objects have a transparent component.  Possible values are:

DcOff <DCOFF>
The object will render itself without transparency regardless of the settings for transparent color and transparent intensity.

DcOn <DCON>
The object will render itself with transparency whenever possible.

The transparent switch is one of several values that make a surface transparent.  Other values include the transparent color (set with DoTranspColor <DOTC>) and the intensity of the transparent color (set with DoTranspIntens <DOTI>). 

DEFAULTS

The default for DoTranspSwitch is DcOff <DCOFF>.
