Although I have set both bands' color to be "purple", they still show a different color deeper than purple where two bands overlap. And that is what I don't want. I want an additive band with one uniform color. But if I simply change the terminal from pdf to post, I won't get an image with transparent lines. Because it seems post terminal doesn't support transparency. So can I have a solution to this problem? Thanks a million!!
