Hi HP-

Recently I have frequently been using a colour table partially that
includes (semi-)transparent stretches. The colour scale displays
correctly in the selection list of colour tables, i.e. you see the
(semi-)transparent stretches. However, in all other instances (in the
legend and when burnt into the display + other places?) the colour scale
shows no transparency signature. It would be especially useful to have
the signature in the display. Is this a bug or oversight?
This is by design. There was a brief period in the development of IDV
2.8 (one of the alpha or beta releases) where the transparent portion
was displayed in the legends. It just didn't look right, so we made
them solid and ignored the transparency. Perhaps this could be a
preference in some future release.
