drawShadedRectangle

Do you want to create box plots with shaded bars?
Do you want to fill the graph area before you plot?
Do you want an example which interpolates colour from left to right or up and down?

Your chart will look alot better if you fill the plot area before you chart.

Try this function to spice up your graph back grounds or create shaded 'control ranges' on a chart.

[hPatch, hLine] =drawShadedRectangle(vecXMinMax,vecYMinMax,vecC1,vecC2,vecC3,vecBorderColor,typeHorzVert)

For example:
drawShadedRectangle([0 3],[0 3],[0.95 0.95 1],[0.75 0.75 1],[0.95 0.95 1],[0 0 0.5],'horizontal')

will create a box 3x3 with a white/light blue/white gradient

hold on
drawShadedRectangle([0 1],[0.5 1],[0 0 0.5],[0.75 0.75 1],[0 0 0.5],[0 0 0.5],'horizontal')

Will draw a shaded bar above the background. So it looks just like an excel chart.

Enjoy,
