|Can you give the NeWS limitations?

When displaying VLSI layers, it is convenient to have translucent
colors, so you can see all of the layers, and not just the top.

I realize that rasterops on colored areas don't really make sense, but
there are some packages that make use of this "feature".
(I agree. This does seem a hack.)

What is the best way to use NeWS to accomplish this?
