[amibroker] Alpha, Semi-Transparent , or Translucent Colors

["ganamide" <ganamide@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been trying to draw the name of a symbol along with its one day percent gain/loss as background text in my charts, but I am finding that it sometimes is difficult to read under the candlestick price data. I was wondering if it would be possible to specify an alpha, or transparency, value to the colors of various things to facilitate this. For instance, if I could make my text 50% transparent, I could draw it on top of the chart and see both layers better. I haven't been able to find anything in afl that supports this, so I assume that it would need to be added. An AFL function such as ColorARGB( alpha, red, green, blue) or ColorRGBA would be nice.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Chris
