Transparent Rendering

Images, Sprites and dashed Lines are transparent objects.
Markers and solid Lines are transparent objects if they are set to transparent: true

In this example the red objects are opaque and the blue objects are transparent.

Limitations With Transparent Objects
• A transparent earth cannot clip or partially overlay transparent objects, they are either in front or behind the earth.
• A transparent earth cannot occlude transparent Lines.
• A transparent Line cuts out parts of underlying transparent objects (if the Line is not set to alwaysBehind: true).
