How can I draw two matrices in the same bar graph with same x-axis and y-axis, different colors for each matrix and with no overlapping?

Hi, I have two matrices (1x12) q and m as below: q = [0.5 1.2 1.1 0.3 0.2 0.8 0.5 0.7 1.0 1.4 0.6 0.7]; m = [0.2 1.7 1.3 0.1 2.3 4.0 0.9 3.4 1.5 0.5 0.2 3.4]; I draw these matrices with x-axis where x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12] by the following code:

plotyy (x,q,x,m,'bar','bar')

I got this gragh..

but I would like to show the graph like this

How can I draw both matrices in the same bar graph with same x-axis and y-axis, with different colors for each matrix and with no overlapping like figure 2 ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

[dpb]

   bar([m;q].')

for starters; see

doc bar  % for details on how to set colors, bar spacing, etc., etc., ...

Per that doc, bar draws separate bar for each column of argument Y
