it is the concept designed to store information. Additional information is stored corresponding to each pixel in the alpha channel with a value between zero and one

A

alpha channel

116
Q

A value of __ means that the pixel does not have any coverage information and is transparent, i.e. there was no color contribution from any geometry because the geometry did not overlap this pixel.

A

0

117
Q

A value of __ means that the pixel is opaque because the geometry completely overlapped the pixel. The technique is used in many applications like Android, Mac OS, Plan 9 and many more.

alpha

122

A

compositing

123
Q

it uses the alpha values, or channel (bit mask) to represent the coverage of each pixel

A

alpha compositing

124
Q

it is often said to represent the ‘opacity’. This coverage information is used to control the compositing of colors.

A

alpha channel

125
Q

is a color component that represents the degree of transparency or opacity of a color i.e., the red, green and blue channels.
