Hello,
I wonder if there is a way to set transparent background in my images.
I would like to overlay the png files on another image.
Thanks!

You can set the back of a view in ParaView to be an image.

Goto Edit -> View Settings -> General -> Background Image.

Robert,
thanks, is this considered transparent? I know I can set the
background to some color, but if black is transparent, that will do
it, otherwise, I would like to see if that can be done.
thanks

Set the background to the image you wanted to overlay on, and than create
the screenshot
in ParaView. I don't think we support transparent backgrounds, but you
could use a green screen style technique where you
set the background to a solid very unique color than use Gimp or your
favorite image editor to set that color as transparent.
