making gifs with transparent backgrounds
843807Feb 11 2002 — edited Feb 11 2002Can anyone please explain in detail how to get Java to ignore the background of a gif. I have heard some people say that If you make the background some rare color such as magenta you can then make Java ignore all the pixels that have that color in it. How can this be implemented? Or how do I set the background alpha to 0 but keep the rest of the image intact? My purpose is to make gifs for a game that I am writing.
