[reportlab-users] Transparent PNG support

[Darryl Woods]

Hi all,

I am creating a report with ReportLab, and as part of this I have 
extended the Table class to do some custom drawing for table borders and 
such.  Part of the design, however, is that the right side of the tables 
"fade out" to white, using a gradient. (The report was designed by a 
graphic designer...)

I've tried various things:

- placing a dithered black/white GIF image and setting the transparency 
mask (looks very bad)
- placing a PNG with transparency (transparency doesn't appear)
- drawing a series of vertical lines, getting increasingly lighter (no 
transparency though)

Is there any way I can accomplish this?

Thanks,
Darryl
