| | Transparency (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In object-oriented programming, transparency is facilitated through the use of interfaces or header files with different implementations. | | | In computing and networking, a software that supports different logical actions through the same user or application interface is transparent. | | | Similarly, some file systems allow transparent compression and decompression of data, enabling users to store more files on a medium without any special knowledge; other file systems encrypt files transparently. |

| | Baikal Explorer - Baikal lake water transparency - The Face of Baikal |
| | The transparency changes abruptly at a depth of 200 - 250 metres (the isoclines are closely spaced). | | | The high degree of transparency of Baikal's waters is due to a number of factors. | | | A similar distribution of transparency can be explained by the undercurrent of transparent deep waters along the western shores of the lake. |

| | Transparency and International Investor Behavior |
| | Rather, lower transparency means that less information is made publicly available, which in turn implies that the gap between those who know and those who do not becomes larger. | | | We would note that there is a natural linkage between low transparency and asymmetry of information. | | | The investment information at the individual fund level allows us to measure herding behavior, which is not possible with aggregate data. |

| | For the purposes of this document, "transparency" refers to the original Internet concept of a single universal logical addressing scheme, and the mechanisms by which packets may flow from source to destination essentially unaltered. | | | The loss of transparency at the Intranet/Internet boundary may be considered a security feature, since it provides a well defined point at which to apply restrictions. | | | The causes of this loss of transparency are partly artefacts of parsimonious allocation of the limited address space available to IPv4, and partly the result of broader issues resulting from the widespread use of TCP/IP technology by businesses and consumers. |

| | Java2D: An Introduction and Tutorial |
| | You set transparency by creating an AlphaComposite object then passing it to the setComposite method of the Graphics2D object. | | | Java2D permits you to assign transparency (alpha) values to drawing operations so that the underlying graphics partially shows through when you draw shapes or images. | | | There are 8 built-in mixing rules (see the AlphaComposite API for details), but the one normally used for drawing with transparency settings is AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER. |

| | Is Transparency the Killer Virtue? Linux Journal |
| | Opacity may be a virtue of commercial software and drive its value, but ultimately it disqualifies that software as deep infrastructure. | | | As ESR demonstrated in The Magic Cauldron, it does not make economical sense to open-source non-commodity software (such as applications) and therefore it is likely that transparency of software will not matter much to business. | | | And maybe Microsoft is beginning to understand that some of Linux's appeal is its transparently trustworthy nature. |

| | The Transparency of Experience |
| | For the transparency considerations are relevant to an account of perceptual justification: it seems reasonable to us that we should come to believe that our environment is a certain way, given that our experience presents that environment as being that way. | | | The problem of the transparency of sensory imagining which we have outlined suggests that, in fact, the intentional approach faces difficulties, just as the sense-datum approach, in taking the introspective evidence at face value. | | | In that case, one might better represent the force of the phenomenal transparency objection against sense-data thus: given our initial reports of experience, a sense-datum account of perception could only be correct if those initial impressions were incorrect, or at best seriously misleading. |

| | NeHe Productions: OpenGL Lesson #08 |
| | The alpha value that is used for transparency can be read from a texture map just like color, to do this, you will need to get alpha into the image you want to load, and then use GL_RGBA for the color format in calls to glTexImage2D(). | | | Then we set the equation, and turn off depth buffer writing when drawing transparent objects, since we still want objects behind the translucent shapes to be drawn. | | | This means when blending is enabled, the object will be 50% transparent. |
