PNG Images
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Prior to 2.5 the PNG image handler would convert all alpha channel
|
||||
information to a mask when the image was loaded. Pixels that were
|
||||
more than halfway transparent would be made fully transparent by the
|
||||
mask and the rest would be made fully opaque.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2.5 the image handler has been updated to preserve the alpha
|
||||
channel and will now only create a mask when all the pixels in the
|
||||
image are either fully transparent or fully opaque. In addition, the
|
||||
wx.DC.DrawBitmap and wx.DC.Blit methods are able to correctly blend
|
||||
the pixels in the image with partially transparent alpha values.
|
||||
(Currently only on MSW and Mac, if anybody knows how to do it for GTK
|
||||
then please submit a patch!)
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using a PNG with an alpha channel but you need to have a
|
||||
wx.Mask like you automatically got in 2.4 then you can do one of the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
|
||||
* Edit the image and make all the partially transparent pixels be
|
||||
fully transparent.
|
||||
|
||||
* Use a different image type.
|
||||
|
||||
* Set a mask based on colour after you load the image.
