fbGFX: BUG in Paint statement

[fxm]

I copied from the first sentence:

Perhaps
If the border is drawn with a transparent color (in conjunction with the GFX_ALPHA_PRIMITIVES option flag) and some pixels on it are overdrawn, the resultant (blending) color of these overdrawn pixels can cause a leak point, through which the fill color escapes outside the border.

Otherwise, I would rather agree with you, but it is out of pure politeness with him.

Blended is maybe better than blending.
Out of the Gaelic, as spoken in Western France, Cornwall, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man (some locations very little now), only Ireland didn't include a past tense.
The wouldn't have the word BLENDED, but for a workaround they would say AFTER BLENDING.
You often hear Irish saying things like e.g. "I am just after finishing it".
I learned this fact from a documentary by (the late) Terry Wogan.
Anyway, after finishing up my blender, here it is for foreground of RGBA on top of a background of RGB, as might be encountered drawing a box with a transparent border on a screen with a solid background colour set.

Code: Select all
