How to set TPad as transparent?

[Jen]

Hi,
I tried
legend = rt.TPad(“legend”,“legend”,0.6,0.4,0.9,0.6 )
legend.SetFillColor(0)
legend.SetLineColor(rt.kWhite)
legend.Draw()
legend.cd()

but the Pad is still white, not transparent.
Do you have a solution?

This was solved in one of your posts last year:

How to set title for canvas with several pads

Try drawing TLatex text on a transparent pad covering the canvas. After you draw all your pads, do for instance: c1->cd(); // c1 is the TCanvas TPad *pad5 = new TPad("all","all",0,0,1,1); pad5->SetFillStyle(4000); // transparent pad5->Draw(); pad5->cd(); TLatex *lat = new TLatex(); lat->DrawLatexNDC(.4,.95,"My Title");
