Two Bar Plots on one graph, with the bars next to each other, not on top of.

Hi guys,

As the title suggests I want to make a bar graph. I have 2 histograms and the values for xOut are the same. If I try to use hold on, or in fact plotYY, the bars are plotted directly over the top of each other. What I want is a bar plot where the bars for each bin are next to each other, and it would be nice to have them in a different colour. :)

Thanks in advance.

Tim

Answer 1

bar([1 2],[pi exp(1);1 4])

We get this figure:

But I would like to change the color of the yellow bars... How? I cannot figure that out.

Inga, in the future, please ask this as its own question.

b = bar([1 2],[pi exp(1);1 4])
b(2).FaceColor = 'g'

I have similar problem ... if I want to display the x-axis with text instead of 1 and 2 ... lets say subjects, airlines etc

xticks([1:2])
xticklabels({'first column', 'second column'})

Hi everyone, I have the same problem as Tim. I did not understand how to draw two bar charts on a single chart, with the bars side by side. If i have two vector:

a=[3 5 8 2]; b=[5 2 6 4 7];

How can I get something like this at the attached file?
