Usage

opaque(element)

Returns false if transparent, or true if not.

opaque.transparent(element)

The opposite of opaque: true if transparent, false if not.

var opaque = require('opaque')
  , transparent = require('opaque').transparent
 
var brick = new Image
brick.src = '/brick.png'
brick.onload = function() {
  opaque(brick)      // true
  transparent(brick) // false
};
 
var glass = new Image
glass.src = '/glass.png'
