How to get the facecolor of each bar?

Dear Sir/Madam,

In my horizontal bar chart MATLAB has given specific colors for each bar. I'd like to use the same colors in another graph. How can I get these facecolors?

Best regards,

Jelle

Use the handles to the bar graph to retrieve its 'FaceColor' property.

Eg:

hbar1 = hbar(data,SomeColor);

Then you can get the color specifications with:

get(hbar1,'FaceColor');

and apply it to another graph:

    hbar2 = hbar(data2,get(hbar1,'FaceColor'));
