                Category:    Plotting with OpenGL => Documentation          
                  Status:                   Fixed => Confirmed

                 Summary: transparent patches can only be obtained by printing
to svg with gnuplot => Document capabilities and failings of each toolkit
(gnuplot, fltk, qt)

Follow-up Comment #3:

Re-titled and re-opened bug report.

I would like to see a small section at the beginning of the graphics chapter
that discusses the three toolkits and compares and contrasts what is
working/not working in a tabular format.

For example, gnuplot is a very good choice on platforms like Macs that have
trouble with multi-threaded applications.  That is not something that one can
guess at.  And the OpenGL implementation of patches is more complete than
gnuplot, except for transparency where it is less capable.
