AW: AW: [Qgis-developer] Addition to QgsRenderContext

What do you mean with 'set alpha channel dynamically'?

Adding an extra parameter to the interfaces, as you suggested, sounds reasonable to me. Keep attention to add default values for it in the function signatures (to not break API compatibility for plugins and third party applications).

Thanks, I probably misunderstood the purpose of the render context.

Yes, the cache stores transparency, but to send the wanted transprancey down from QgsVectorLayer through QgsRenderer to QgsSymbol requiers an extra parameter in the interfaces. Maybe that's the best way?

Well, if we want to keep it within Qgsvectorlayer, we could:
1) Set alpha channel dynamically, or
2) Cache in QgsVectorLayer
