%% Specify Different Properties For Each Bar Series
% Load the data set, |count.dat|, that returns a three-column matrix, |count|.
% Define |y| as the first four rows of count.

load count.dat
y = count(1:4,:);

%%
% Create a horizontal bar graph of |y| using a dotted line style. Return
% the three bar series handles. |barh| creates a bar
% series for each column in |y|.  

h = barh(y,'LineStyle',':');
       
%%
% Use the handles in |h| to set different property values for
% each bar series. Change
% the face color of the first bar series to cyan by setting the
% |FaceColor| property to |cyan|. Set the face
% color for the third bar series using an RGB triplet. 
%
% Starting in R2014b, you can use dot notation to set properties. If you
% are using an earlier release, use the <docid:matlab_ref.f67-432995>
% function instead.

h(1).FaceColor = 'cyan';
h(3).FaceColor = [0,0.5,0.5];
