+\wxheading{Support for Transparency / Alpha Channel}
+
+On Mac OS X when using Core Graphics (wx\_MAC\_USE\_CORE\_GRAPHICS set to 1)
+colors with alpha are supported, so instances {\tt wxPen} or {\tt wxBrush} that are built from {\tt wxColour} use
+the color's alpha values when stroking or filling.
