Re: Transparent background

["Mike Sandy" <mjsandy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Agreed, it is easy to do using the editor, but
my project, which was done years ago using Pro,
does not use the editor.
A small section of a tessallation is generated manually by stamping with
polygon shaped turtles, this small section is converted
into a turtle shape (by a procedure), which of course can then be used
to build up the remaining tessallation very rapidly.
With MW Pro, snaparea copies the shape
but any empty boundary around the shape is automatically
transparent irrespective of whether the bg is colour 0, so does
not obscure any graphics.
This is impossible with Ex. The surround stays white and obscures
the graphics.
