Move bars so that first is between 0 and 1 (0 and first tick) .

How can i move the bars 0.5 to the left (according xticks)?

I need first bar to be between 0 and 1, next from 1 to 2 and so on. Now the xticks are centered under each bar.

That looks like a histogram rather than a bar plot. You can define the histogram edges using (0:25)-.5 to shift the bars leftward by 0.5 units and centered on intergers.

If you are using a bar plot, set the x values to 0:23

It's a bar plot, but written like this:

bar(x,1)

Setting x values 0:23 don't seem to do as wanted. From mathworks page hist i found picture of how i would like to represent the data:

But i don't want the histogram function here (where data gets put in bins according their values). Only want like a normal bar plot, but need the bars to be between the xticks like on this histogram figure.

You can specify the bar heights in histogram so that there are no bin counts.

Example:

x = 1:10; 
y = 1:10; 
histogram('BinEdges', 0:10, 'BinCounts',y)
xlim([0,10])

Thank you very much. In this way i get the figure to look like wanted for a report we're making.

Is it the lack of any number behind 'BinCounts' which makes this work (like a bar plot)?

By specifying the bincounts, you're telling Matlab how high to make the bars which is similar to bar plot. It accepts floating point values, too, not just integer "counts".

histogram('BinEdges',edges,'BinCounts',counts)
