## Produce a bar graph from two vectors of X-Y data.
##
## If only one argument is given, @var{y}, it is taken as a vector of Y values
## and the X coordinates are the range @code{1:numel (@var{y})}.
##
## The optional input @var{w} controls the width of the bars.  A value of
## 1.0 will cause each bar to exactly touch any adjacent bars.
## The default width is 0.8.
##
## If @var{y} is a matrix, then each column of @var{y} is taken to be a
## separate bar graph plotted on the same graph.  By default the columns
## are plotted side-by-side.  This behavior can be changed by the @var{style}
## argument which can take the following values:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"grouped"} (default)
## Side-by-side bars with a gap between bars and centered over the
## X-coordinate.
##
## @item  @qcode{"stacked"}
## Bars are stacked so that each X value has a single bar composed of
## multiple segments.
##
## @item @qcode{"hist"}
## Side-by-side bars with no gap between bars and centered over the
## X-coordinate.
##
## @item @qcode{"histc"}
## Side-by-side bars with no gap between bars and left-aligned to the
## X-coordinate.
## @end table
##
## Optional property/value pairs are passed directly to the underlying patch
## objects.  The full list of properties is documented at
## @ref{Patch Properties}.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a vector of handles to the created
## "bar series" hggroups with one handle per column of the variable @var{y}.
## This series makes it possible to change a common element in one bar series
## object and have the change reflected in the other "bar series".
## For example,
##
## @example
## @group
## h = bar (rand (5, 10));
## set (h(1), "basevalue", 0.5);
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## changes the position on the base of all of the bar series.
##
## The following example modifies the face and edge colors using
## property/value pairs.
##
## @example
## bar (randn (1, 100), "facecolor", "r", "edgecolor", "b");
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## The color of the bars is taken from the figure's colormap, such that
##
## @example
## @group
## bar (rand (10, 3));
## colormap (summer (64));
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## will change the colors used for the bars.  The color of bars can also be set
## manually using the @qcode{"facecolor"} property as shown below.
##
## @example
## @group
## h = bar (rand (10, 3));
## set (h(1), "facecolor", "r")
## set (h(2), "facecolor", "g")
## set (h(3), "facecolor", "b")
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @seealso{barh, hist, pie, plot, patch}
## @end deftypefn
