transparent colors?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello 

I finally solved the problem of my plot. 
The situation is as follows, there are 4 different
surfaces. I can either plot the surfaces in 4 different
subplots or together. However when I do the latter then two
of the surfaces are hidden inside on (the are distorted
balls).
In matlab they can be seen since one can specify transperent
colors. Is there anything similar in octave?


Code in question.

set(hpatch,'FaceAlpha',Alphalevel,'FaceColor',color(i,:),'EdgeColor','none')
|      set(hpatch,'FaceColor',color(i,:),'EdgeColor','black')

Here is the matlab plot, the octave plot is similar but the
two interior balls cannot be seen.
