Applying transparency to graphic shapes

You can apply transparency to graphic shapes. Transparent shapes become a sort of skeleton as they take the color of the diagram background and can only be selected by clicking on their borders.

You apply transparency to graphic shapes by clearing the Fill color check box in the Fill tab of the Format dialog box.

For more information about the Fill color check box, see the Selecting fill display preferences section.

Example

You can apply transparency to the rectangle you draw to represent the system in the use case diagram.


Steps To apply transparency to graphic shapes:

  1. Select one or more symbols.
  2. Select Symbol→Format to display the Symbol Format dialog box.
  3. Click the Fill tab.
  4. Clear the Fill color check box.
  5. Click OK.
