  • Transparency
rdfs:comment
  • Transparency refers to the extent to which citizens can meaningfully view and understand how government operates. It refers to an environment in which the objectives of policy, its legal, institutional, and economic framework, policy decisions and their rationale, data and information related to monetary and financial policies, and the terms of agencies' accountability, are provided to the public in a comprehensible, accessible, and timely manner.
  • Though this power makes the user invisible, opponents can still see the user's attacks, such as continuous fire and melee attacks. When an opponent uses this power, it's useful to use the redicle to find him since the reticle becomes larger when hovering over a target.
  • Transparency in Government is critical. As Senator George Allen said in his concession speech, the voters are the owners of government. We have a right to know what our government is doing.
  • Rowan and Ellis will both be able to make themselves become literally transparent. They will then be invisible except for the slightest outline which a person would have to focus upon to notice or see. They will also be able to make themselves metaphorically transparent, which will affect their thoughts and motives. People would then find it much easier to understand them and empathise with them, and they could use it to prove that they are being honest, and not deceiving or tricking anyone.
  • The transparency of a tile in Chip's Challenge determines whether anything underneath it shows through and how it behaves in response to interactions with objects. Keys, boots, monsters, and Chip are transparent, while all other tiles are not. Transparency not only affects how the tile is drawn in Chip's Challenge and in level editors, but also how it behaves.
  • Transparency is possible in a number of graphics file formats. The term transparency is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible. Of course, only part of a graphic would by fully transparent, or there would be nothing to see. More complex is "partial transparency" or "translucency" where the effect is achieved that a graphic is partially transparent in the same way as colored glass. Since ultimately a printed page or computer or television screen can only be one color at a point, partial transparency is always simulated at some level by mixing colors. There are many different ways to mix colors, so in some cases transparency is ambiguous.

  • Transparency is possible in a number of graphics file formats. The term transparency is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible. Of course, only part of a graphic would by fully transparent, or there would be nothing to see. More complex is "partial transparency" or "translucency" where the effect is achieved that a graphic is partially transparent in the same way as colored glass. Since ultimately a printed page or computer or television screen can only be one color at a point, partial transparency is always simulated at some level by mixing colors. There are many different ways to mix colors, so in some cases transparency is ambiguous. In addition, transparency is often an "extra" for a graphics format, and some graphics programs will ignore the transparency. Raster file formats that support transparency include GIF, PNG, and TIFF, through either a transparent color or an alpha channel. Most vector formats implicitly support transparency because they simply avoid puttting any objects at a given point. This includes EPS and WMF. For vector graphics this may not strictly be seen as transparency, but it requires much of the same careful programming as transparency in raster formats. More complex vector formats may allow transparency combinations between the elements within the graphic, as well as that above. This includes SVG and PDF. A suitable bitmap graphics editor shows transparency by a special pattern, e.g. a chessboard pattern.
