I use "alpha" for this, as in A in RGBA. Obviously won't work for everyone, but it's a simple convention that's easy to grok and explain.

- skrebbel 6y agoI like this a lot, given how often it's used in scenarios similar to alpha blending, like "reducing the proportion of X".
- eru 6y agoSounds a bit too much like alphabet or alphanumeric?
- eps 6y agoNot to me. Especially when preceded by "float".
- twic 6y agoI also have the name "alpha" for numbers like this. I don't think i got it from graphics.
