public interface TransparentRenderable
extends Renderable

Method Detail

hasTransparency

boolean hasTransparency()

Check to see if this renderable object has anything that could be interpreted as an alpha value. For example a Raster with RGBA values or vertex geometry with 4-component colours for the vertices. Transparency information is needed for depth sorting during rendering.
