TR, Transparency Mode | HP 5961-0509 instruction

TR, Transparency Mode

This command defines how the white areas of the source graphics image affect the destination graphics image.

TR [n][;]

or

TR [;]

Parameter	Format	Functional Range	Default

n	clamped integer	0 or 1	1 (on)

zNo Parameters— Defaults to transparency mode = on (TR1;).

zn— Specifies whether transparency mode is on or off:

z0— Transparency mode = off.

z1— Transparency mode = on (default).

When transparency mode is on (default), the portion of a source image which is defined by white pixels does not affect the destination; whatever was already written to the page “shows through” the white areas in the new image.
