Hi, I'm trying to plot a simple bar plot that should contain 3 bars.
I write:
bar([1 2 3],[0.23 0.45 0.533],'r')
this function should plot 3 bars of high: 0.23 0.45 an 0.533,

instead my Matlab creates sqare 1x1 filled with red and hell knows how long
horizontal line at y=0.

the same thing happens when I try to plot the examples from Help.

Any idea what is wrong with my matlab...or with me?:) maybe i'm doing
something wrong?

Start off by making sure you're using the version of bar that ships with
MATLAB. Type this command:

which -all bar

You should see the bar function in toolbox/matlab/specgraph; you may also
see one in toolbox/finance. If you see any others, rename or remove them.
Then try it again.

If that doesn't resolve the problem, you should work with Technical Support
to determine the cause of the problem.

Please try

which -all bar

as you may have another routine named bar somewhere in your path.

unfortunatelly, it didn't help. but thanks anyway.
now i have to use bar3 function and rotate it, so it looks like bar (thank
god its only one graph)
