v2.12.5 Better handling of transparent background images
June 8, 2014 at 6:01:20 PM
 
While working on some new features (i.e. word charts) I thought I'd do an update to address an issue with the way the freePatternWizard handles images that have a transparent background.

In the past, if you gave the PatternWizard a .GIF or .PNG with a transparent background, the resulting pattern came up with a somewhat black background.

This update addresses the background rendering and now returns a white background (in theory, the color of the paper).

In a future version you will actually be able to set the color of the background with a little pulldown option box.  The code I just added already supports multiple color backgrounds but I just need to add the option to section 7 when time permits.

As always, let me know if something doesn't work after this update!
