Setting alpha of colorbar in MATLAB R2014b -

i have colorplot (from imagesc) alpha map. i'd colorbar reflect alpha (notice in image below colormaps same). found solutions online none seem work in r2014b.

code here:

subplot(2,1,1) = imagesc(meshgrid(0:10,0:5)); alpha(a,1) colorbar  subplot(2,1,2) b = imagesc(meshgrid(0:10,0:5)); alpha(b,.7) colorbar

in pre-r2014b matlab, colorbar axis containing image can set alpha:

hb = findobj(gcf,'type','axes','tag','colorbar');  hi = findobj(hb,'type','image'); alpha(hi,0.7) 

instead of gcf, use handles of individual subplots.

or save handle when make it:

hb = colorbar; 

from r2014b on, colorbar creating using new handle graphics system, there no longer child image modify. colorbar created internally colorbarhgusingmatlabclasses, obfuscated .p file, it's no clear how it's constructed.
