Description
Sometimes you want a certain color in an image to be transparent, that is, invisible. For example game developers need translucent regions in their images so that the things below are not hidden by an ugly rectangle. transconv (transparency converter) makes the color, which appears in the upper left corner of the image, translucent and converts the image into the png format which supports transparency. This means, transconv saves time and doesn't forget to replace single pixels, which a human could easily miss, when doing the same task with an image editing tool.
How to use transconv
In order to enable developers to automate color replacement, it was designed as a command line tool. Below you find a short description on how to parameterize transconv.
- In order to use transconv, you have to start up a command prompt. On Windows, you can do this with Start->Run->cmd.
- The general usage of transconv is as follows:
java -jar transconv.jar source_image(s) - For example, if transconv is located at C:\coolapp and your image files are saved in C:\pictures (here: bitmap files), the following command will make them transparent:
java -jar C:\coolapp\transconv.jar C:\pictures\*.bmp - The transparent images can be found in the same folder (here: C:\pictures).
- Very simple- isn't it? Have fun!
