CreateTexture function and transparent background

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/CreateTexture function and transparent background

It is posssible to create a texture like :

MyText=CreateTexture()

But with a transparent background ? because i want make
texture with text but without background.

Yes, use the masking flag and see a recent thread here about masking pixels.

Thanks Halo

Or WritePixel will write pixels including alpha values if you need full alpha.

Or Save texture and reload it with alpha and/or Mask flags set.

I tried that, but it just worked by reloading the texture - if there is better way, I'd appreciate a link to the thread Halo mentioned.

This one?
