I have a code that plots a layout created with ezdxf, but I have trouble setting my plot transparency option, because I have a external reference with an image that I want to be 40% transparent.

This is the code I use for plotting the whole dxf file, but I dont know how to set the transparency option to True in the plot options, I cant find the docs for this references.

Also it would be very nice if when I create my layout in the ezdxf, I could set all this plotting options for each layout.

doc = ezdxf.readfile(dxf_path)
layout = doc.layouts.new(name='layout_name')
layout.applyPlotOptions(papersize="ISO_full_bleed_A1_(841.00_x_594.00_MM)", plotsytle table='style.ctb', plottransparency=0.6, etc)

I would very much appreciatte any help on this.

Chelo.
