Hallo VMD Users/Developers,

I would like to draw a semi transparent cylinder or cone but I did not
succeed with commands like

mol load graphics ska_graph
graphics top color trans_blue
color change alpha trans_blue .5
graphics top cone $from $to radius 0.8

The resulting cone ist blue but not transparent. I tried to switch on
transparency for this "mol" with the graphics form but this does not have
any effect.

I am using vmd1.2 precompiled version with opengl on an sgi o2 with
irix6.3.
Does anyone know a solution?

Many thanks in advance and best wishes

Siegmar
