<h2>3.6 Transparency</h2>
30
<p>Ipe supports a simple model of transparency. You can set the opacity
31
of path objects and text objects: an opacity of <i>1.0</i> means a fully
32
opaque object, while <i>0.5</i> would mean that the object is
33
half-transparent. All opacity values you wish to use in a document
34
must be defined in its stylesheet.
35
<p>Documents containing transparency cannot be saved in EPS
36
format. (Postscript does not support transparency.) For this reason,
37
the standard Ipe stylesheet (that is automatically added to newly
38
created documents) does <em>not</em> define opacity values, and so you
39
must use a custom stylesheet to make use of transparency in your
