Hi,

By using Envision directly, it is not possible to know in advance. If you look at the source code of, EnPngGr.SingleLoadFromStream, it is possible to write a function that will do that by calling the low level function, png_get_bKGD. If the png has a background, it usually means it is transparent.

Best regards,

Michel
