Problem with texture transparency

Hello,

I’ve started playing with textures that have transparent parts in them, and I’m having some difficulties getting them to display properly. My problem is that I can’t get the transparent parts to actually be transparent. Instead, they get the color that was assigned to the triangle, as illustrated by the picture in attachment. (EDIT: ok I don’t know why my picture became so small, but anyway, on the top left is the result I would like to achieve, and on the top right is what is actually rendered. On the bottom left is the original texture.)

As, you can see, the texture is yellow (because I called gl.glColor4f(1, 1, 0, 1f)) while I would like it to be transparent.

Any ideas?

Here is my entire code:

        } catch (IOException e) {

        }
    }


    @Override
    public void reshape(GLAutoDrawable drawable, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
        GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();  // get the OpenGL 2 graphics context

        if (height == 0) height = 1;   // prevent divide by zero

        gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);

        gl.glMatrixMode(GLMatrixFunc.GL_PROJECTION);  // choose projection matrix
        gl.glLoadIdentity();             // reset projection matrix
        glu.gluPerspective(45.0, (float) width / height, 0.1, 100.0); // fovy, aspect, zNear, zFar

        gl.glMatrixMode(GLMatrixFunc.GL_MODELVIEW);
        gl.glLoadIdentity(); // reset
    }
}

AFAIK it is because of this line:

    gl.glTexEnvf(GL2.GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL2.GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL2.GL_DECAL);

I didn’t do that much with legacy OpenGL(R) but AFAIK the texture environment setting should be MODULATE to multiply the texture color with the diffuse geometry color to get the effect you want.

Woohoo, that did the trick! Thank you!
