ibar.m

ibar() does the same as bar(), but returns an individual handle for each bar.

Description

Perfect! Just want I was looking for. However, an example would have been helpful. Here is one:
y = rand(10, 1);
h = ibar(y);
% set elements 3, 5, 7 of bar plot to yellow:
set( h([3 5 7]), 'facecolor', 'yellow')

[Tim Hallett]

for later version need to change the "bar command" to bar('v6',...) so get the appropriate handle assignments.

It was exactly what I was looking for. But unfortunately it doesn't work with R2006a...
