transp_text.C File Reference

Detailed Description

This macro is based on labels1.C by Rene Brun.

Updated by Timur Pocheptsov to use transparent text. The macro requires OpenGL - either enable by gStyle->SetCanvasPreferGL(kTRUE); or by setting OpenGL.CanvasPreferGL to 1 in $ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc.
