Use colors from "colormap" property for bar, barh if a "hist" option was given (bug #59589). * NEWS: Announce change * bar.m: Update documentation to point out that colors are taken from "ColorOrder" property for "stacked" or "grouped" option, but from "ColorMap" property for "hist" or "histc" option. This is Matlab compatible, and also possibly dumb. * hist.m: Update documentation to state that "ColorMap" property will be used for color selection. * __bar__.m: Add new variable ishist to indicate that a histogram option was given. Set "climmode" of axis to "auto" so that colormap data is correctly shown. * __bar__.m (bars): When ishist is true, set "cdata" field of patch object to the index of the bar group (1,2,3,...).
