Plot range of values in a bar graph

I am looking to create a bar graph that outputs a certain range of values, for example the minimum to maximum temperature of a Body. The label on the x axis to the appropriate bar should be a char representing the name of the Body (So in this simple example the output would be just one bar graph). How can I do this?

This is one of the possible ways

x = categorical({'First label', 'Second label', 'Third label'});
ymin = [1 2 5]; % heights of bar
ymax = [4 9 8];
b = bar(x, [ymin; ymax-ymin].', 'stacked');
b(1).Visible = 'off';

hey Ameer

unfortuneatly this is not what I am looking for. This code gives out a bar chart with two bar graphs where First Label is of height 1 and Second Label of height 2.

To go with your example: I would like to output a graph with the label 'First label' that starts at height 1 and ends at height 2 (so 1 is the minimum value and 2 the maximum value). Note that this graph is not starting at zero but rather at 1 (or in general it starts at the minumum value and ends at the maximum value).

Updated answer shows how you can achieve the result as you mentioned in comment.

I was not certain what result you wanted when I replied to your Comment to Plot range of values as bars. I gave a sort of general reply.

Try this slight variation on that code:

Tmax = randi([25 30], 1, 10);                       % Create Data
Tmin = randi([15 20], 1, 10);                       % Create Data
days = 1:10;                                        % Create Data

figure
plot([days; days], [Tmin; Tmax], 'LineWidth',5)
xlabel('Day')
ylabel('Temperature Range (°C)')
ylim([10 40])
xlim([0 11])
grid
xtl = compose('Day #%2d',days);
Ax = gca;
Ax.XTickLabel = [];
set(gca,'XTick',days, 'XTickLabel',xtl, 'XTickLabelRotation',15)

.
