\section{Fading Library}
\label{section-library-fadings}

\begin{pgflibrary}{fadings}
    The package defines a number of fadings, see
    Section~\ref{section-tikz-transparency} for an introduction.  The
    \tikzname\ version defines special \tikzname\ commands for creating
    fadings. These commands are explained in
    Section~\ref{section-tikz-transparency}.
\end{pgflibrary}
