Hi experts out there,

I am working on exporting my geometry model images to vectorized PS files. I have problem to handle the transparent parts. I have heard now PS level 3 begin to support transparency. Can anyone provide more details about the syntax or the topic general.

thanks in advance.

That is not correct. PostScript has no support for transparency
(except for a means to pass transparency requests to Distiller 6.0 to
generate a PDF with transparency).

Ben,

In simpler cases you can do transparency even in Level1.
It is easy to calculate colours a la OpenGL blending rules,
it is not so easy to find clipping areas where such colours
apply.

It is cumbersome, but can be done. The question is: can the result
justify the effort?

I've done a few 3d stuff this way and I like the results very much.
However, lucky me, I don't have to justify the time and effort to anybody.
