Okay, so I've got another, related question. In addition to your hexgrids, I've got the one that the webpage generated into a PDF. I saved that as a graphic and imported it into Xara; a bigass black and white hexgrid graphic. Now, how can I make all that white transparent, so I just have a black hexgrid overlay?

Reading through the help files, it seems that Xara just sniffs at simple on-off transparency for a color and doesn't let you do it. It seems I can make the whole image varying degrees of transparent, or have part of it transparent and part of it not, but I can just make one color of the image become transparent. Surely there is some simple way to do this? What am I missing?

Sincerely,
