Last post, I said that the next part of my transparent graphics series would be Part 2, and would introduce a class I've written to simplify drawing to glass, drawing partially transparent shapes and text, etc.
I haven't posted this yet, simply because life has got in the way - since my last post, I spent a couple of weeks back home in Australia visiting friends and colleagues, and traveling a bit on the way back here. (I went camel-riding. They're surprisingly weird animals.) I'm afraid I simply haven't had time to write the article and to polish the final bits of the library code.
Part 2 really is coming, and I'm sorry it's taking so long. In the meantime, here is a quick post, Part 1 1/2, addressing a couple of questions asked in the comments for Part 1.
