Description Bert Kreisel 2014-12-19 04:21:06 EST

A Line series with Transparency = 100 is visible in PDF export.
It is also visible in Metafile export if using GDI (GDI+ is ok).
Exported Bitmap, GIF, JPEG, PNG are always OK.

I suspect the problem can be related by bug number 135. Here's the bug link http://bugs.teechart.net/show_bug.cgi?id=135

PDF format does not allow transparency in colors, only as overload layers (which we can't easily do).

A workaround could be considering a Transparency of 100 the same as the Pen being invisible (at PDF Canvas)
