Re: Alpha Blending?

Hi Bill,

OK, I'll play around more with this.  Thanks!



So it is one DataRenderer per one DataReference?  And if I want to have
an array of DataReferences "linked" to a single DataRenderer, must I
create a custom DataRenderer?


Yep. But it takes pretty unusual circumstances to actually
need more than one DataReference per DataRenderer.



Well, I have an array of Irregular2DSets. I want to give each set a different color. I then want to be able to toggle on and off the collection of Irregular2DSets at the same time.

I'm sure that I can loop through the array of Iregular2DSets, and their associated DataReferences/DataRenderers and turn each one off individually, but I would like to do turn the array off and on in one step instead of a loop. Is there a way to do this elegantly (i.e. w/o a loop)? Is there and example?

Thanks much!

-kevin.
