Answer 1

Alright, I found one way to do it, that looks relatively clean: (using the ColorBar object from the question)

color_bar.set_alpha(1)
color_bar.draw_all()
# pylab.draw() or pyplot.draw() might be necessary

It would be great to get a confirmation that this is the most robust way to proceed, though! :)

Answer 2

This is a huge, ugly hack. But no other way would work. Maybe someone else can improve.

fig1 = pylab.figure()
fig2 = pylab.figure()
ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = fig2.add_subplot(111)
ax1.scatter(range(10), range(10), c=range(10), alpha=0.2)
im = ax2.scatter(range(10), range(10), c=range(10), alpha=1.0)
fig1.colorbar(im, ax=ax1)
fig1.show()

python - (ursina) Prevent partially transparent model

I'm using Ursina with Python3.8 to do some 3D world stuff. I wanted to load in a 3D model of the portal gun, just to see if I could do it. I've done that sucessfully, but it looks weird. I've attached some screenshots so you can see what I mean. As far as I can tell, it looks like the surface i'm looking at on the model is transparent... and i'm seeing the inside of the model.

python - How to use PIL to make all white pixels transparent?

I'm trying to make all white pixels transparent using the Python Image Library.

pygame - Updating part of a surface in python, or transparent surfaces

I have an application written in python that's basically an etch-a-sketch, you move pixels around with WASD and arrow keys and it leaves a trail. However, I want to add a counter for the amount of pixels on the screen. How do I have the counter update without updating the entire surface and pwning the pixel drawings? Alternatively, can I make a surface that's completely transparent except for the text so you can se...

django - python PIL - background displayed opaque instead of transparent

I want to generate 32x32 sized thumbnails from uploaded images (actually avatars). To prevent a thumbnail from being smaller than that size, I want to create a transparent 32x32 background and paste the thumbnail on it. The code below tries to do so. However, the avatar is displayed on a black and opaque background; I lose transparency information somewhere through the process. Where am I doing wrong?...
