Simple transparent graphics in MATLAB using alpha

 Transparency is a nice feature to make your visualizations look better and it also allows you to show data more clearly (pun not intended, but appreciated after the fact). It means that your data will not obscure other data as you view it.

    Alpha can make plots much easier to view however I’ve noticed that the alpha map doesn’t scale with the data map when using the magnifying glass.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
