object on the fly--how to change color of particular vertex

With the following code, I created an object on-the-fly, a green polygon. Then I want to create a vertical transparent stripe, that is, set vertex 2 and 5 to be transparent. But the code doesn't work this way. Why? Thanks!

viz.startLayer(viz.POLYGON)
viz.vertexColor(viz.GREEN)

viz.vertex(0.0,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.5,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.6,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(1.0,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(1.0,1.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.6,1.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.5,1.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.0,1.0,0.0)
target=viz.endLayer()

target.dynamic()

target.setVertexColor(2,[0,0,1,0.2])
target.setVertexColor(5,[0,0,1,0.2])

What I want to do is to vary transparency within an object. How to do that ?

Many OpenGL drivers will internally break up POLYGON shapes into triangles. Try using QUADS instead.
Code:
viz.startLayer(viz.QUADS)
viz.vertexColor(viz.GREEN)
viz.vertex(0.0,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.5,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.5,1.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.0,1.0,0.0)

viz.vertex(0.5,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.6,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.6,1.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.5,1.0,0.0)

viz.vertex(0.6,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(1.0,0.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(1.0,1.0,0.0)
viz.vertex(0.6,1.0,0.0)
target=viz.endLayer()

target.dynamic()

target.setVertexColor(5,[0,0,1,0.2])
target.setVertexColor(6,[0,0,1,0.2])
target.setVertexColor(8,[0,0,1,0.2])
target.setVertexColor(11,[0,0,1,0.2])
Depending on your needs, you might be able to just use an alpha texture on a single quad to achieve the transparency.
