Transparent backgrounds in exported images

Post by Gordon »

(Now that there's the wonderful prospect of a new version soon!)

It would be very helpful to be able to export images with a transparent background. When anti-aliasing is used (which apparently is all the time, as I cannot find a way to turn it off), removing the background later is rather difficult and tedious.

As it happens, I've already added this as an option for the next version.

For now, the anti-aliasing can be avoided by changing "Over-sampling" to 1 in the export dialog.

Thanks! Is there a publicly-accessible list of features that you are adding or have added? After this amount of time I imagine that there are quite a few.

Nope, no list yet. One of the boring admin things I still need to work on will be a list of updates, as well as the documentation, website etc. Yes there's lots of changes, but a lot of time was spent fixing bugs and getting it working with the latest dev tools (the last version was built using dev tools from last century!). Will have all the newly discovered noble polyhedra and 4D uniform polytopes. The main interface will actually look almost identical, but new stuff in the menus.
