		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;slices&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transparency''' is used to adjust the transparency of '''[[Surface]]s''' and '''[[Slice]]s'''.  (For other transparencies in PyMOL, see [[cartoon_transparency |Cartoon Transparency]], [[sphere_transparency|Sphere Transparency]], and [[stick_transparency|Stick Transparency]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Usage==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;source lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
set transparency, F, selection&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where '''F''' is a floating point number in the range ''[0.0 - 1.0]'', where '''selection''' is the selected surface to apply the change to (for examples, see below).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the value of ''F'', 1.0 will be an invisible and 0.0 a completely solid surface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Examples==&lt;br /&gt;
===Whole Surface===&lt;br /&gt;
Change the transparency of the whole surface to 50%.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;source lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# show all surfaces with 50% transparency.&lt;br /&gt;
set transparency, 0.5&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Image: Surfall_065.png | Image showing 100% of the surface with 65% transparency.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Selected Surface Elements===&lt;br /&gt;
Simple example showing how to do partial surface transparency.  This allows different selections to have different transparencies on the same object (or also on different objects).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;source lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# load a random protein&lt;br /&gt;
fetch 1rty&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# set the partial transparency for the selected residues&lt;br /&gt;
set transparency, 0.65, i. 1-100&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery widths=&amp;quot;300px&amp;quot; heights=&amp;quot;200px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Image:Diffy_transp2.png|Different transparency settings on the same object.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;new page, needs help&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''Transparency''' is used to adjust the transparency of surfaces. To use try:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 set transparency, 0.5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 set transparency=0.5, selection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where 1.0 will be an invisible and 0.0 a completely solid surface.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
