GDI Plus: Overlapping Transparency

[Meum]

Hi,

I habe many Lines. The lines have a transparent color (0x55FFFF00 for example).

But each line should have a seperate Pen-Width.

As you can see on the picture the transparent area whitch is overlapping have another color. I think the color is added.

Now I dont want this effect. It should be always the same color.

I don't know how to solve this with Standard GDI Plus. I guess it is not possible.

And I don't want to define the area as rectangles and fill it.

What you might consider doing is making a memory bitmap, drawing using solid (not transparent) pens, and then drawing the memory bitmap using a custom alpha value.

(I don't know the AutoIt version of GDI+ but...) You would draw the image using this function

And in the ImageAttributes object, you would add a ColorMap structure that specified to replace the solid color with the transparent color.

There might be an easier way, but this is what I came up with.
