MATLAB tool to create bar graph with error bars using patch and line objects
This function will create a grouped bar graph with error bars without using the standard plotting functions BAR and ERRORBAR. It uses PATCH to create the bars and LINE to construct the error bars.
USAGE: h = barpatch(data, varargin)
h: handles to graphic objects
data: data matrix to plot; rows are cases, cols are variables
These are entered as 'name', value argument pairs. Matching is not case-sensitive and partial name matches are OK.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| figh | handle for figure to plot in |
| newfig | flag to create and plot in a new figure |
| groupidx | rows index columns of "data" to plot as a group |
| groupname | labels for different groups of bars |
| grouptick | flag to place tickmark between groups on x-axis |
| groupspace | controls spacing between groups of bars |
| barname | labels for different bars within groups (in legend) |
| barcmap | colormap for distinguishing bars within a group |
| barwidth, | width of bars (>1 produces overlapping bars) |
| errlinewidth | width of error bar lines |
| detachlegend | flag to plot legend in new figure (if applicable) |
| t | figure title |
| xl | x-axis label |
| yl | y-axis label |
| fontsize | base font size |
| fontname | name of font to use |
| fontunits | font units of finished product |
| ytickformat | display formatting for yticklabels (e.g., '%.2f') |
| yticklength | # of yticks (if empty, determined automatically) |
| fontmultiplier1 | multiplier for next largest size from basefontsize |
| fontmultiplier2 | multiplier for next largest size from basefontsize |
| fontmultiplier3 | multiplier for next largest size from basefontsize |
