How to color a range of bins in histogram?

Dear scholars,

I have created a simple histogram.

x = rand(10000,1); histogram(x);

I want to color the bins after 0.5 red but I do not know how to do that. Thank you so much for your help.

Usually the most robust way is to create two separate histogram objects:

x = rand(10000,1); 
mask = x<.5;

bin_edges = 0:.1:1;
histogram(x(mask),bin_edges);
hold on
histogram(x(~mask),bin_edges,'FaceColor','red');
hold off

Then you can set any properties you like on each of the two objects.

How can I do that, when I do not know the binedges in advance. I trid something like:

1.)

mask=cdw(:,2:j)>=100;

hx=histogram(a2,cdw(mask),'Orientation','horizontal','Normalization','probability','Parent',a2,'FaceColor','green');

hold on

hx=histogram(a2,cdw(~mask),'Orientation','horizontal','Normalization','probability','Parent',a2,'FaceColor','red');

hold off

2.)

mask=cdw(:,2:j)>=100;

hx=histogram(a2,cdw(mask),'Orientation','horizontal','Normalization','probability','Parent',a2,'FaceColor','green');

bin_Edges=hx.BinEdges;

hold on

hx=histogram(a2,cdw(~mask),'Orientation','horizontal','Normalization','probability','Parent',a2,'BinEdges',bin_Edges,'FaceColor','red');

hold off

But both do not work properly; around 100 I get an intersection part of bars where colors are on top of each other.

Thanks
