- Is there a way to overlay graphic figures (circles, rectangles, etc.)
- so that the underlying figure "bleeds through" the top one?
-
- I want to make a "business presentation" type bar chart where
- succeeding years are overlaid. However, the top bar totally obscures
- the one behind it - even with a stripped pattern. I want to use a
- stripped pattern so that the lower one shows through.
-
- I can make the same effect "by hand" by drawing the top rectangle
- directly and stripping it line by line. Unfortunately this is
- resolution dependent for the line spacing. It would be MUCH easier to
- use the built-in fill patterns and have the BGI do the work!
-
- Anyone solved this?
