Apologies for sending this post out again - I'm hoping that someone who has used the PSTricks export option might be able to help.
Can I export using PSTricks and maintain transparency? I don't know PSTricks - but the generated code seems to use solid colours. Anyway to fix it?
Regards Adi
The PSTricks output is a tex file - and I know that PSTricks can do transparency - at least they have some demos on their site with transparency.

I don't think so -- Postscript has no way to express transparency.

Intrigued by this I had a look and indeed, it does support it. But it only works if you then convert the file to a PDF file (and apparently only through some special way too, but I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know whether that's necessary).
Apparently the pstricks-add package is what does the trick, so if anyone wants to have a look at implementing some support for this, have a look:

Thanks for the reply - I had a quick look at the pstricks export code and it seems relatively straight forward. I'll tinker a bit when I get a chance.
