Hi all,

I am trying to do a surface plot on top of a quiver plot. In order to see the quiver plot, I have to add some transparency to the surface plot. But the problem is that I also have a colorbar associated with surface plot. I cannot add transparency to the colorbar. And now the color on the surface plot looks different from the color on the colorbar.
So I am wondering whether anyone knows how to add transparency to the colorbar.

Thanks in advance.

See if this gives a hint:

>> h=colorbar;
>> colorBarh=get(h,'Children');
>> set(colorBarh,'AlphaData',.2)
