Hi

I have the following graph written in PSTricks (I apologize for the length, but it was the most simple example I could think of):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{moredefs}
\usepackage[%

    lmargin    = -5.25mm, % do not know why this offset is needed.
    rmargin    = 0mm, %
    tmargin    = 0mm, %
    bmargin    = 0mm, %
    ]{geometry}
\begin{document}

I want the red part to be "transparently" red, I think they call it alpha channel (?). I tried changing "fillstyle=transparent", but that could not compile.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Best,
Niles.

use

Code: Select all

\dataplot[fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=Fcolor181.0161,
      plotstyle=line,   
      linestyle=solid,linewidth=\EdgeLineWidth,
      linecolor=Lcolor181.0161,opacity=0.4]{\mydata}

opacity is the optional argument for transparency

Could probably be done a bit shorter (and easier).

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-plot,pstricks-add}

\newrgbcolor{Lcolor181.0161}{0 0 0}
\newrgbcolor{Fcolor181.0161}{0.4 0 0}

\begin{document}
  \psset{
    llx=-1cm,
    lly=-1cm,
    xAxisLabel={x axis},
    xAxisLabelPos={c,-0.55cm},
    yAxisLabel={y axis},
    yAxisLabelPos={-1cm,c}
}
  \begin{psgraph}[
    axesstyle=frame,
    Dy=.5,
    xticksize=0 4,
    yticksize=0 7,
    ticklinestyle=dotted,
  ](0,0)(7,4){10cm}{7cm}
    \savedata{\mydata}[{
      {0.000000,0.000000},
      {0.314159,0.098696},
      {0.628319,0.394784},
      {0.942478,0.888264},
      {1.256637,1.579137},
      {1.570796,2.467401},
      {1.884956,3.553058},
      {1.994391,4.000000}
    }]
    \pscustom[
      linestyle=none,
      fillstyle=solid,
      opacity=0.25,
      fillcolor=Fcolor181.0161,
    ]{
      \dataplot[
        plotstyle=curve,
        linestyle=solid,
        linecolor=Lcolor181.0161
      ]{\mydata}
      \psline(1.994391,4)(6.3,4)(6.3,0)
    }
  \end{psgraph}
\end{document}

Needs "LaTeX → PS → PDF" or XeLaTeX. The option for opacity has already been mentioned.

Thanks to both of you. It works! I actually tried it out myself, but then it didn't work. But I was running MikTeX 2.8, so that was why -- now I have updated to 2.9, and everything is good now.

That is true - it is from fig2tex (but that is also why I didn't say that I had written it myself, I only said it was written in PSTricks). Thanks for the quick help.

Best,
Niles.

If you want only the dashed coordinate lines visible, then you can use another optional argument to draw these lines at the end. Then they are always on top of each other objects.
