Examples
The following examples show you the 4 possibilities you have, concerning the transparency, when generating a fluttering flag with our script-fu. The blue sky has been generated by the script-fu and is located in the animated gif image file produced. The grey checkerboard is a background image and is what you see there where the animated gif image is transparent.
Rectangular flag
Default
A fluttering French flag made with the default settings of the script-fu.
- Ignore sky color and make background transparent is NOT checked.
- The color that will be transparent was NOT a color that is present in the flag.
Background transparent
A fluttering French flag made with modified settings of the script-fu.
- Ignore sky color and make background transparent is checked.
- The color that will be transparent was NOT a color that is present in the flag.
Irregular shape
A fluttering French flag made with modified settings of the script-fu.
- Ignore sky color and make background transparent is NOT checked.
- The color that will be transparent was white, a color that is present in the flag.
Thus the white part of the flag was considered not being part of the flag.
