#' A progress bar function to run within a \code{for} loop

#' A function to change the alpha value (transparency) of colours that are defined as strings.
#' @param colours A vector of colours defined by strings of characters
#' @param alphas The transparency (0=transparent, 1=opaque)
#' @keywords colour alpha transparency
#' @export
#' @examples
#' # Define the coordinates of three points
#' x <- c(0.2, 0.5, 0.8)
#' y <- c(0.5, 0.5, 0.5)

#' # Define the colours for the points
#' colours <- c("green", "blue", "red")

# Note that col2rgb returns rgbvlues from 0 to 255
