# Compositing options
**Compositing** is the process or technique of combining visual elements from separate sources into single images. Icon Pack Studio provides 5 different compositing modes.
## **Overlap**
The overlap method is the **standard compositing mode**. Shape B is just placed on top of Shape A.\
If Shape B is translucent, you will see part of Shape A under the area occupied by Shape B.
## **Printed on**
This mode is similar to overlap, but the area of the Shape B that exceeds the borders of Shape A are not drawn. If Shape B is translucent, you will see part of Shape A under the area occupied by Shape B.\
\
**Please note**: If Shape B is completely contained in the area of Shape A, Print on will work exactly like Overlap.
## **Engraved**
When Engraved is selected, Shape B is subtracted by Shape A, generating a hole in the picture on the bottom. In this case, the color of Shape B is ignored.
## **Overwrite**
When Overwrite is selected Shape B will replace the content of Shape A instead of overlapping it.\
If Shape B is translucent, you won't see Shape A under the area occupied by Shape B.
**Please note:** If Shape B is opaque, Overwrite will work exactly like Overlap.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.smartlauncher.net/products/iconpackstudiofaq/documentation/compositing-options.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
