Transparency and 2-D graphics

Hi,

When I read MATLAB documentation about transparency it refers to 3-D objects. Is it possible to make part of a 2-D object (eg. a normal distribution plot) transparent?

Many thanks,

Rob

Yes. As a general rule, look for object properties that have a "alpha" as part of their name (e.g. FaceAlpha) to adjust the transparency.

If you post some code, I could try to be more specific on how to adjust transparency for a given object you are displaying.

Many thanks, Cyclist. I don't actually have the code (yet). I have a young programmer working with me - and he has done a very good job. It's just this last bit he is struggling with (fading the colour to transparent). I don't want to undermine his confidence, he is trying to work this out, but I might come back to you later if you don't mind (if we're still stuck). Thanks again, Rob

The cyclist. I too am trying to obtain transparency for 2D plots. This is a sample code :

 clc;
 clear all;

 x = linspace(0,10);
 y1 = sin(x);
 y2 = sin(5*x);
 y3 = sin (0.5*x);

 figure
 subplot(2,1,1);
 h = plot(x,y1)
 hold on;
 subplot(2,1,1);
 h2 = plot(x,y3)

 hold on;
 subplot(2,1,2);
 h1 = plot(x,y2)

Can you help me how to do it?
