Issue 7267: UML diagram interchange: translucent property unnecessary? (uml2di-ftf) Source: International Business Machines (Mr. Bran Selic, selic@acm.org selicb@ca.ibm.com bran.selic@gmail.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Is the ‘Translucent’ property needed? Cannot be inferred by not having a background color property? Resolution: Revised Text: Actions taken: April 22, 2004: received issue November 1, 2005: closed issue Discussion: No, if the background color is not set the element inherits the background color from its container. This is the strategy for all color and font properties. So if an element should be translucent an extra property has to be set. This strategy avoids the need to specify a lot of properties in a deep nested element hierarchy. Disposition: Closed, no change has to be made End of Annotations:===== ubject: UML diagram interchange: translucent property unnecessary?
