next beta

\definecolor [trans] [a=multiply, t=.5, g=.5]

\startMPpage
     fill fullcircle scaled 12cm withcolor \MPcoloronly{trans};
     fill fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor \MPcolor{trans};

     fill fullsquare xyscaled (15cm, 15cm)
       withshademethod "linear"
       withshadevector (0,1)
       withshadecolors (red,\MPcoloronly{trans})
       withtransparency \MPtransparency{trans}
     ;

\stopMPpage
