How to set an opacity for a color?

My test code is:
Code: Select all
Magick::Image img( "images/tree.png" );
img.strokeColor( "red" );
img.fillColor( Magick::Color( 0, 255, 0, 127 ) );
img.strokeWidth( 5 );
img.draw( Magick::DrawableCircle( 300, 300, 200, 200 ) );
img.write( "images/img.png" );
But it doesn't work as semi-transparent color in this way. What do I do wrong?
I compile it with the command:
Code: Select all
g++ -Wall first.cpp -o first `Magick++-config --cppflags --cxxflags --ldflags --libs`
where:
Code: Select all
$ Magick++-config --cppflags --cxxflags --ldflags --libs

That should work fine, if your IM is Q8. But writing software that depends on a particular Q-number is unwise. (And I suppose your IM isn't Q8.)
I suggest you try:
Code: Select all
image.fillColor( Magick::Color( 0, QuantumRange, 0, QuantumRange/2 ) );
EDIT: Dividing by "2.0" is probably better, so HDRI can give a genuine 50%. In addition, the documentation
http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/Color.html#Color suggests we should use MaxRGB rather than QuantumRange, so we have:
Code: Select all
image.fillColor( Magick::Color( 0, MaxRGB, 0, MaxRGB/2.0 ) );

Thanks the first one is worked for me! In the second way I get error: "error: use of undeclared identifier 'MaxRGB'" but the first one works perfectly!

Perhaps you need to specify a numeric value for MaxRGB?

Specifying a number like 127 or 32767 is a bad idea because that will work as desired only for a particular Q-number.
I notice that v6.9.3-7 deprecate.h contains:
Code: Select all
#define MaxRGB QuantumRange /* deprecated */
Perhaps the OP's IM is newer than mine (and newer than the documentation), and MaxRGB was dropped after that version.

Yeah, I use the latest IM 7.0.5. Thanks for the help!
