When a frame lies partially or entirely on top of another one, you
can use these three icons to determine how its contents will appear.
If you click on the first icon Write mode: Transparent
, all
colour and transparent areas will be transparent and you will be able
to see the frame underneath through them. If you click on the second
icon Write mode: Opaque
, colour areas will be opaque, and you
will only be able to see through areas that are really transparent.
The colour Transparent is not available for raster graphic frames.
The third icon Write mode: Inverse
has a special function:
In this mode, wherever two objects that are not white or transparent
overlap, the overlap will appear as white. The icon itself illustrates
the effect. The use of this function sets no limits to your
imagination.
Using the icons is really simple: The icon that corresponds to the write mode of the current frame is shown activated (inverse video). To alter the write mode of a selected frame, just click on another of these icons.
