Transparency and Metafiles, any solutions in the works?

[TestAlways]

It's been discussed at length in the past that metafiles do not support transparency. E.g. My customers sometimes print reports from my product poster size and the charts that are saved in pixel format appear very poorly when they are of any significant size.

Is there anything in the works to fix this for images that have to be enlarged when printing? (There were some suggestions in a post some time ago).

Thanks

+1 for this one!

My workaround at the moment is to set my transparent surfaces to be painted with a 5%-filled brush, but anything behind gets overprinted this way... Is there a possibility to set a transparent color at the brush bitmap property?

Hi Ed,

Yes, we are working on being able to set DPI for exported images. However notice that metafiles don't have DPI support.

Is there a possibility to set a transparent color at the brush bitmap property?

You can try using clNone.
