Select a color for transparency

Transparency can switch off any color from the original image on the final map. This option is typically used to eliminate the borders of multiple map sheets stitched together. You can set a specific color of the map to be considered fully transparent during rendering.

Select a color

This feature is available in a Transparency combo box on the right side of the input page.

Now you can choose a color from the palette, or define your own color in the color mixer, or enter a HEX color code. In the images below you can see the edges of the output without using the transparency color (left) and after setting a white color (#FFFFFF) to transparency (right).

If you select the "Ignore alpha band", the alpha channel from your input images will be ignored.
