Bar graph - how to add transparency in Matlab 2014b

I would like to add transparency to my bar graph. However, any option which I have found in Matlab forum does not work in my Matlab version. Does anyone know how to add transparency in Matlab 2014b?

In R2014b you'd have to create the bars yourself using fill or patch, which is how bar was implemented in earlier releases.

However, if you can upgrade, in R2015b the Bar (as well as Area and Scatter) object got a FaceAlpha property which will make them transparent.
