There are two types of field color overl ay attributes:
Transparent The overlay field (text or constant text) does
not block out (or "erase") existing fields .
Opaque The overlay field blocks out (or "erases")
existing fields.
Field placement in the packet is an important consideration
when using field color attributes, because fields are imaged in
the order they are received. If a line field is defined before
the overlay (text or constant text) field, the line field is
blocked out by the overlay field, depend ing on the overlay
field’s color attribute. If a line field is defined after the overlay
field, the line field is not blocked out by the overlay field,
regardless of the overlay field’s color attr ibute.
