TextureTransparency Enumeration

Describes the type of transparency in the pixels of a TextureImage. Each pixel can be classified as either opaque or translucent. The transparency of the image as a whole is based on the combination of pixel transparencies. If this information is known, it should be supplied when creating a texture for more efficient rendering.

see TextureImage.transparency.
