HTML5 Canvas Opacity Tutorial

To set a shape opacity with Konva, we can set the opacity property when we instantiate the node, or we can use the opacity() method.

Shapes can have an opacity value between 0 and 1, where 0 is fully transparent, and 1 is fully opaque. Unless otherwise specified, all shapes are defaulted with an opacity value of 1.

If you want to apply transparency for several shapes without seen overlapping areas, take a look into Transparent Group Demo

Instructions: Mouseover the pentagon to change its opacity.

pentagon.on('mouseover', function () {
this.opacity(1);
});

pentagon.on('mouseout', function () {
this.opacity(0.5);
});

// add the shape to the layer
layer.add(pentagon);

// add the layer to the stage
stage.add(layer);
