Hey! So I’m trying to figure out the parameters for blendMode() and I’m wondering what parameters you would use to get the same result as blendMode(NORMAL)
Thanks!
@Dwins There’s a lot of parameters for blendmode, so it’s hard to say what parameter value you need to get a specific result. Here’s a program I wrote that allows you to change the parameters and see what the results are. It didn’t help me that much, I’m still confused. You can try it, maybe it will help you somewhat.

Thanks @dave1707 that helped a lot! Someone may want to double check, but I found that setting the parameters to this should give the same result:
blendMode(NORMAL) = blendMode(ONE,ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA)
blendMode(MULTIPLY) = blendMode(DST_COLOR,ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA)
blendMode(ADDITIVE) = blendMode(ONE,ONE)
@dave1707 I edited your code a bit so it draws the ellipses at half the transparency
