-# How to save a `Figure` with transparency
-
-## CairoMakie
-
-In CairoMakie, set the background color to `:transparent` (converts to `RGBAf(0, 0, 0, 0)`) to get a fully transparent background.
-In the following examples, I use a partially transparent blue because a transparent background is indistinguishable from the usual white on a white page.
-
-\begin{examplefigure}{svg = true}
-```julia
-using CairoMakie
-CairoMakie.activate!() # hide
-
-f = Figure(backgroundcolor = (:blue, 0.4))
-Axis(f[1, 1], backgroundcolor = (:tomato, 0.5))
-f
-```
-\end{examplefigure}
-
-## GLMakie
-
-For technical reasons, GLMakie's color buffer does not have an alpha component:
-
-\begin{examplefigure}{}
-```julia
-using GLMakie
-GLMakie.activate!() # hide
-Makie.inline!(true) # hide
-
-f = Figure(backgroundcolor = (:blue, 0.4))
-Axis(f[1, 1], backgroundcolor = (:tomato, 0.5))
-f
-```
-\end{examplefigure}
-
-
-With the following trick you can still save an image with transparent background.
-It works by setting two different background colors and calculating the foreground color with alpha from the difference.
-
-```julia:transparent-glmakie
-using GLMakie
-GLMakie.activate!() # hide
-Makie.inline!(true) # hide
-
-function calculate_rgba(rgb1, rgb2, rgba_bg)::RGBAf
-    rgb1 == rgb2 && return RGBAf(rgb1.r, rgb1.g, rgb1.b, 1)
-    c1 = Float64.((rgb1.r, rgb1.g, rgb1.b))
-    c2 = Float64.((rgb2.r, rgb2.g, rgb2.b))
-    alphas_fg = 1 .+ c1 .- c2
-    alpha_fg = clamp(sum(alphas_fg) / 3, 0, 1)
-    alpha_fg == 0 && return rgba_bg
-    rgb_fg = clamp.((c1 ./ alpha_fg), 0, 1)
-    rgb_bg = Float64.((rgba_bg.r, rgba_bg.g, rgba_bg.b))
-    alpha_final = alpha_fg + (1 - alpha_fg) * rgba_bg.alpha
-    rgb_final = @. 1 / alpha_final * (alpha_fg * rgb_fg + (1 - alpha_fg) * rgba_bg.alpha * rgb_bg)
-    return RGBAf(rgb_final..., alpha_final)
-end
-
-function alpha_colorbuffer(figure)
-    scene = figure.scene
-    bg = scene.backgroundcolor[]
-    scene.backgroundcolor[] = RGBAf(0, 0, 0, 1)
-    b1 = copy(colorbuffer(scene))
-    scene.backgroundcolor[] = RGBAf(1, 1, 1, 1)
-    b2 = colorbuffer(scene)
-    scene.backgroundcolor[] = bg
-    return map(b1, b2) do b1, b2
-        calculate_rgba(b1, b2, bg)
-    end
-end
-
-f = Figure(backgroundcolor = (:blue, 0.4))
-Axis(f[1, 1], backgroundcolor = (:tomato, 0.5))
-f

-save(joinpath(@OUTPUT, "transparent.png"), alpha_colorbuffer(f)) # hide
-save("transparent.png", alpha_colorbuffer(f))
