MapInfoStyler parameters

For a Region, how do I set the Fill Background Color to be transparent?

For example, Fill Pattern 30 is diagonal lines. I want the spaces between the diagonal lines to be transparent, so I can see the layer underneath.

Hi @nicholas​. Leaving the default no value for Fill Background Color , and setting the Fill Pattern to 30 should do the trick and will set the format attribute mapinfo_brush_transparent to -1/true (which is transparent). I gave this is shot and it seemed to work:

I've attached a workspace template below as a reference for the MapInfoStyler parameters. Hope this helps!
