believe that transparency/opacity currently is only available at the layer
level, not the class level as Hayden appears to want. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=845223613-15102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If you
really need the transparency option, you could break out your classes into
separate layers. This would allow you to use transparency, but would of
course multiply the number of layers and may give you a very small performance
hit (which may likely be negligible). </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=325402017-12102007>First is to set a transparency level, if the polygons
have to be solid. Underlying polygon doesn't have to have any, while the
top polygon can have any transparency level you want - probably somewhere
between 40 and 60% if you want both to be approximately equally
visible.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=325402017-12102007></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=325402017-12102007>Or
you can simply set an OUTLINECOLOR and no COLOR, which means you will get an
outline and no fill, which will show any underlying polygons as long as they
don't directly overlap the same lines. Any overlapping lines can be
identified by making the outline line thicker and a different color, so
whoever is viewing the map can see that there are multiple polygons
there.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
