[rrd-users] Alpha color RRDTool

[Johan Elmerfjord]

Hi,

Have not looked at the code – or document.
But what if the Alpha is to the end.
#519933 is "green" but #005199   is blue  - and with a alpha of  33 – it will be quite light-blue (as in your graph)
#8C1DA2 is "purple", but #008C1D is green   - and with alpha A2 it will be quite “strong”.

Can you try it and see if that makes sense.

    We've attached pcol-day.png for more clearly, here snapshoot my code:
    
    AREA:PCOL#00519933:"" \
    
    #519933 is "green" color. But #00519933 is "blue" in my view. AFAIK, in 
    XML Android #00519933 should be "green light" in my view. Another case, 
    #8C1DA2 is "purple", but #008C1DA2 produced "green". How to determine 
    alpha color in rrdtool?
    
    Thank you.
