How to make the surface plot transparent??

I want to plot some data points over surface paraboloid. To increase visibility I want to increase transparency of surface plot. How to do that.

[Swathi Chandrasekar]

Check out the set command in matlab.There is a property called alpha.After the surf command just say alpha(0.5).The value lies between 0 and 1.The closer to zero the more transparent it is.

surf(peaks(30))
alpha 0.5
plot3(10,10,10,'r*')
hold off
