# Dissolve

Function: | Dissolve | (time, old_widget=None, new_widget=None, alpha=False):

This dissolves from the old scene to the new scene, by overlaying the new scene on top of the old scene and varying its alpha from 0 to 255. Dissolve only works correctly when both scenes are the same size.

time - The amount of time the dissolve will take.

alpha - If True, the resulting displayable will have an alpha channel, at the cost of some speed. If False, it will be treated as opaque, but be faster.

## Example

    init:
        $ dissolve = Dissolve(0.5)

    with None
    scene bg whitehouse
    show eileen happy
    with dissolve

    e "The dissolve transition is probably the most useful,
       blending one scene into another."
