scatter_blend

The penguins dataset, drawn twice with semi-transparent markers. This is an interesting use-case to test blending, because several samples itself overlap, and by drawing the set twice with different colors, we realize even more interesting blending. Also note how this makes use of different ways to specify (css) colors. This example is a good reference to test WebGL blending.
