How to add transparency to plot3?

80 views (last 30 days)
Hello!
I have a simple code, where I plot a circle in a grid. The important part for the circle is this:
h = plot3(1.5,2.5,2.5,'o','MarkerSize',50,...
'MarkerEdgeColor','k',...
'MarkerFaceColor',[0 0.5 0]);
I want to add a transparency, but somehow nothing is working. I tried alpha, markerfacealpha or something with h.Color(4) = ... nothing worked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try using sphere funtion instead of plot3 for 3D objects where you can define edge and face alphas seperately. Go to property editor for all available options.
[x y z]=sphere(100);
surf(x,y,z);
In case you are looking for chaging alpha for markers, refer to the following link for more information
