Is it possible to draw with transparency like you would draw with any colour?



For example if i'm using a createGraphics() you can use clear() to make the canvas transparent, but what if I wanted to draw a black background with a see-through hole in the middle (draw a "transparent filled" ellipse that cuts through?).

          You could play around with the blendMode() function. Here is the reference for the blendMode() function.



          Or you could call the set() function on each pixel. Here is the reference for the set() function.



          Or you could look into using an image mask. A simple example is creating an image with a transparent center ahead of time, and then displaying that over top your sketch. A more advanced version of that would be to use the mask() function. Here is the reference for the mask() function.
