Dear Geoffrey MH

Perhaps your question goes further then asking what is the color (or how can I set the color) of the background of the container?
When a container have a good design (not the special ones) but the containers who have the possibility to print only the content of the container, then the container background is not set or it is transparent.
When you print a container and the container has a background then you've a file that is larger than necessary.
Conclusion: A good container has a background-color:transparent;

    hi

I am still hoping for some help on this one.  Maybe it will hep if I restate the problem...

I have a dynamically created pie chart which appears surrounded by a white square on the standard dnn container against the light blue of the container.  I want to know how I can find that backcolour - light blue - programmatically so whatever the container I can set the bitmap backcolor to that so all that will be seen is the circle of the pie, not a white square.

Color Transparent or MakeTransparent just gives me a black square.  I have googled and googled but not found an answer other than picking up the color of the container or the page - but where can I find that in dnn?

yours hopefully

Geoffrey
