How to plot histogram on the y-axis?

Did you look at the bottom of the bar() documentation in the "See also" section and notice the barh() function? Does that do what you want?

Maybe try experimenting with the xdir property of the axis, something like
set(gca, 'xdir', 'reverse');

Dear Image Analyst,
hope you are still reading in these days, just to say that your tip worked for yaxis of barh too.
Thanks for your help.
I attach the code for the community.
b2 = barh(GSCS.GroupCount, 'FaceColor', 'flat');
myColor=rand(height(GSCS.GroupCount), 3);
b2.CData = myColor;
yticklabels = repmat('A', ...
height(GSCS.SuperstructureConstructionSystem), 1);
yticklabels = string(yticklabels);
for i = 1:height(GSCS.SuperstructureConstructionSystem)
yticklabels(i) = GSCS.SuperstructureConstructionSystem(i);
end
xlabel('No. of bridges', 'FontSize', 12);
ylabel('Superstructure Construction System', 'FontSize', 12);
% xtickangle(90);
ax = gca;
ax.XAxis.FontSize = 12;
ax.YTick = 1:1:height(GSCS.SuperstructureConstructionSystem);
ax.YAxis.TickLabels = yticklabels;
ax.YAxis.FontSize = 8;
set(ax, 'ydir', 'reverse')
Best.

If you're using the HISTOGRAM function, see the Orientation property of the Histogram object that function returns.
