[PD] Gem: Change blending mode ?

[Alexandre Quessy]

Hem, which red book ? sorrry.

So, if I understand well : "Transparency is best implemented using
blend function (GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) with primitives
sorted from farthest to nearest."  ?

Taken from http://www.mevis.de/opengl/glBlendFunc.html

;-)

Thanks, tigital and Chris.

By the way, James, should I always replace the Gem that is bundled
with Hans installer for your Gem version (from your Mac.com site) ?
