I am trying to set the face color of all of the bars of a bar graph in MATLAB while using the 'histc' option to have them all line up, so the trends I am trying to highlight can easily be observed. However, when trying 5 different ways to set the color of the bars, it always comes up as the same color (picture attached). The plotting code using an arbitrary x-y combination is:
bar(x,y,'histc');
To set the color to red, I have tried:
bar(x,y,'histc','r');
bar(x,y,'r','histc');
bar(x,y,'histc','FaceColor','r');
b = bar(x,y,'histc'); b(1:end).FaceColor = 'red'
b = bar(x,y,'histc'); set(b,'FaceColor','r');
None of the above changes the face colors of the bars to red. The full code I am using that generates the graph is attached. Any help with this would greatly appreciated as it seems it should be something pretty simple to do.
Full Code:
figure(1)
bar(datenumber,deltapHie,'histc');
hold on
zeroline = refline(0,0);
hold off
set(zeroline,'Color','k','LineWidth',1.4);
ylim([-0.96 0.36]);
set(gca,'FontSize',11);
set(gca,'ytick',[-0.9 -0.75 -0.6 -0.45 -0.3 -0.15 0 0.15 0.3]);
ytix = get(gca,'ytick');
ytixlbl = regexp(sprintf('%.2f\n',ytix), '\n', 'split');
set(gca,'yticklabel',ytixlbl(1:end-1));
ylabel('\DeltapH^{INT-EXT}_{final}','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold');
date_frmt = 'dd-mmm-yyyy';
beginTime = '27-Jan-2016';
endTime = '11-Feb-2016';
xlim([datenum(beginTime,date_frmt) datenum(endTime,date_frmt)]);
xticks(736356:3:736371);
dateformat = 1;
datetick('x',dateformat,'keeplimits','keepticks');
xlabel('Date','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold');
box on
