transparency tran color text input box

Purpose
To display or change the transparency color for the current attribute numerically.

Usage
See diffuse input box, color text box on how to use it.

Comments
The transparency color determines the color of the inside volume of the object. The default color for the transparency surface color is black. The light is filtered out by the transparency color. A black transparency color would indicate no light filtered, leaving the object completely clear, while a blue transparency color would filter out the blue component of the light passing through the object, leaving the object yellow. Any color map can be entered in response to the prompt instead of a single color.
