### strokealpha

```
    $egs->strokealpha($alpha)
```

The current stroking alpha constant, specifying the constant shape or constant opacity value to be used for stroking operations in the transparent imaging model.

### fillalpha

```
    $egs->fillalpha($alpha)
```

Same as strokealpha, but for nonstroking (fill) operations.

### blendmode

```
    $egs->blendmode($blendname)
    $egs->blendmode($blendfunctionobj)
```

The current blend mode to be used in the transparent imaging model.

### alphaisshape

```
    $egs->alphaisshape($boolean)
```

The alpha source flag (alpha is shape), specifying whether the current soft mask and alpha constant are to be interpreted as shape values (*true*) or opacity values (*false*).

### textknockout

```
    $egs->textknockout($boolean)
```

The text knockout flag, which determines the behavior of overlapping glyphs within a text object in the transparent imaging model.

### transparency

```
    $egs->transparency($t)
```

The graphics transparency, with 0 being fully opaque and 1 being fully  transparent. This is a convenience method, setting proper values for  `"strokealpha"` and `"fillalpha"`.

### opacity

```
    $egs->opacity($op)
```

The graphics opacity, with 1 being fully opaque and 0 being fully transparent. This is a convenience method, setting proper values for `"strokealpha"` and  `"fillalpha"`.
