One feature that would be nice would be a property on the XImage to set the transparency of the image.

In order to accomplish this, I added an alpha property to the XImage, then I changed the DrawImage in XGraphicsPdfRenderer. It works, but I am fairly new to the PDF spec, so I was wondering if it is a standard way to apply the transparency.

Thanks

public void DrawImage(XImage image, double x, double y, double width, double height)
{
string transparencyGraphicsState = "";

if (image.Alpha < 1.0F)
{
PdfExtGState extGState = this.Owner.ExtGStateTable.GetExtGStateNonStroke(image.Alpha);
string gs = this.Resources.AddExtGState(extGState);
transparencyGraphicsState = String.Format("{0} gs\n", gs);

// Must create transparany group
if (this.page != null)
this.page.transparencyUsed = true;
}

string name = Realize(image);
if (!(image is XForm))
{
if (this.gfx.PageDirection == XPageDirection.Downwards)
{
AppendFormat("{6}q {2:0.####} 0 0 -{3:0.####} {0:0.####} {4:0.####} cm {5} Do Q\n",
x, y, width, height, y + height, name, transparencyGraphicsState);
}
else
{
AppendFormat("{5}q {2:0.####} 0 0 {3:0.####} {0:0.####} {1:0.####} cm {4} Do Q\n",
x, y, width, height, name, transparencyGraphicsState);
}
}
else
{
BeginPage();

XForm form = (XForm)image;
form.Finish();

PdfFormXObject pdfForm = Owner.FormTable.GetForm(form);

double cx = width / image.PointWidth;
double cy = height / image.PointHeight;

if (cx != 0 && cy != 0)
{
if (this.gfx.PageDirection == XPageDirection.Downwards)
{
AppendFormat("{6}q {2:0.####} 0 0 -{3:0.####} {0:0.####} {4:0.####} cm 100 Tz {5} Do Q\n",
x, y, cx, cy, y + height, name, transparencyGraphicsState);
}
else
{
AppendFormat("{5}q {2:0.####} 0 0 {3:0.####} {0:0.####} {1:0.####} cm {4} Do Q\n",
x, y, cx, cy, name, transparencyGraphicsState);
}
}
}
}

I personally use the .NET ColorMatrix class to apply transparency to an image before I render that image to the pdf.
