Bar chart

Syntax

bar(tsobj)
bar(tsobj, width)
bar(..., 'style')
hbar = bar(...)

barh(...)
hbarh = barh(...)

Arguments

tsobj
Financial time series object

width
Width of the bars and separation of bars within a group. (Default = 0.8.) If width is 1, the bars within a group touch one another. Values > 1 produce overlapping bars.

style

'grouped' (default) or 'stacked'

`tsobj`	Financial time series object
`width`	Width of the bars and separation of bars within a group. (Default = 0.8.) If width is 1, the bars within a group touch one another. Values > 1 produce overlapping bars.
`style`	`'grouped'` (default) or `'stacked'`

Description

bar and barh draw vertical and horizontal bar charts.

bar(tsobj) draws the columns of data series of the object tsobj. The number of data series dictates the number of vertical bars per group. Each group is the data for one particular date.

bar(tsobj, width) specifies the width of the bars.

bar( ... , 'style') changes the style of the bar chart.

hbar = bar(...) returns a vector of bar handles.

Use the MATLAB command shading faceted to put edges on the bars. Use shading flat to turn edges off.

Examples
