Thread Subject: help with graph

I need to make a bar graph. I have 3 values. each value needs a bar in a different color with a differnt name. in the bar command, if I do X=[1 2 3] and than bar(X) I get 3 bars in the same color and i can't change to 3 different color. I also would like to add the group name under each value. Can someone help?

one of the solutions

% the data
     nb=4;
     yb=rand(nb,1);
     cm=jet(nb); % <- a colormap, use your own nxrgb...
% the engine
     ix=[3,2,4,1]; % <- index into <cm>
     bh=bar(yb);
     ch=get(bh,'children');
     set(ch,...
           'facevertexcdata',ix.');
     colormap(cm);
     colorbar; % <- compare with bar color indices!

Thank you very very much!
Do you also have a solution for the name problem?
for ix to be string and not a number?
Thank you!

I managed todo it myself. If anyone is interested:

h1=gca;
set(h1,'XTickLabel',['Ct';'C1';'C2';'C3']);

Thank you for the help.
