Inputs

Name	Description
x	Specifies the x-coordinates of the bars you want to plot. x is a vector. length(x) must equal length(y). If you do not specify x, the x-axis scale equals length(y) if y is a vector or size(y, 1) if y is a matrix.
y	Specifies the heights of the bars you want to plot. y is a vector or matrix.
width	Specifies the width of the bars you want to plot.
style	Specifies the plot style. style is a string that accepts the following values. 'group' (default) If y is a matrix, bar plots each row of y as a group of bars. The number of bars in each group equals the number of columns in y. 'stack' If y is a matrix, bar plots each row of y as one stacked bar.
color	Specifies a valid color attribute for the plot. color is a string that accepts the following values. 'b' Blue 'c' Cyan 'g' Green 'k' Black 'm' Magenta 'r' Red 'w' White 'y' Yellow
