PNG with white background but 0 alpha
Is it possible to create a png with a white background but 0 as the alpha value?
Other pixels can have an alpha value greater than 0.

I already tried g.fillRect with setColor as 1f 1f 1f 0f
but that creates an image with 0 0 0 0 rgba as background
maybe it's a compression thing?
Draw routines are going to account for the transluency, and especially in your case transparency, of what you're trying to draw, as the result is supposed to be one layer as the resulting image.
If you want to try such a thing you're going to have to modify pixel values rather than drawing on the image.
are you talking about buffered image's setRGB method?
because I also tried that
but before I do my regular drawing procedures
would it make a difference if I did it after my regular drawing procedures?
Hmm I'm not sure
Normally, drawing something that's fully transparent is just something you should consider as useless to do
I need it though
In principle drawing something transparent is equivalent to not doing anything.
So it seems you're saying that you require a step that does nothing;
not if you interpret rgba data differently
Oh right. Fill and stroke offer different composition options, right?
yeah
And you've opted out of mentioning your composition of choice, because?
I mentioned fillRect
the only 'real' drawing I need to perform is drawString
I am creating a bitmap for textrendering btw
the background needs to have a white rgb value so I don't need to switch textures for rendering anyrhing other than text

You mentioned fillRect but not the composition you used. I literally mentioned it's the composition that may matter. And you still have not explained what's the composition you use nor why.
