4.2rc2: "set style fill transparent" does not work

[Wagner M. Jr <me...@dc...>]

Hi all,

I just downloaded and compiled 4.2rc2. It is running OK.

I understood that it supports transparent 2D figures as the
transparent.2.gnu demo shows. 

Am I missing something?

Should I enable something for compilation?

Best,

Wagner

It supports this on some terminal drivers.

You missed telling us which terminal driver you tried it on.

I need to generate eps files. A typical figure is that one where
there are overlaping normal filled curves with transparency:

Er, no.
Transparent fill is one of the next generation features introduced
to the cvs source tree after we froze the code base for the release
of 4.2

> Am I missing something?

You must have found the demo on the demo page for the cvs version
	http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.3/
rather than on the demo page for the 4.2 release
	http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.2/

The 4.2 and cvs (4.3) versions have not yet diverged very far, but
development goes on and new features will continue to be added.
So far the cvs tree has gained:
	transparent fill
	iteration within a plot command
	the "with rgbimage" plot style work in 2D and 3D for all terminals
		that support RGB, even if they don't support "with image"
