Changing transparency type
By default, the Transparency Tool applies a simple linear transparency on
the drawn path. However, the tool's context toolbar lets you change to one of
several transparency, e.g., Radial, Conical, Ellipse, Plasma, etc.
The path's appearance may change to reflect the transparency type, but the
principles of editing the transparency path are the same.
Editing gradient transparency
Once you've applied a gradient transparency, you can adjust its path on the
item, and the level of transparency along the path. You can even create more
complex transparency effects by adding extra nodes to the path and assigning
different values to each node.
Each node along the path is selectable by clicking and can therefore adopt its
own transparency value.
To adjust the transparency path:
1. Select the item with a gradient transparency applied.
2. Click the Transparency Tool on the Standard toolbar.
