Is it possible to make the background of text transparent?
Yes.
stroke sets the text color, fill sets the background. fill(r,g,b,0) sets the color of the background transparent. R G B can be any color.
aciolino - I am using the text command. If I set the fill alpha to 0, the entire text is transparent.
I have a loop where single letters are drawn to the screen. For some reason, the first letter always has a solid background and the others are transparent. I need the backgrounds to all be transparent.
