[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65661] bar plot unable to set individual bar colors

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #65661 (group octave):

as an example, the following patch vs default would somewhat enable this
capability, although not perfectly:

with that change, the following commands will change face colors in a couple
different ways:


h = bar ([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
set (h, 'facevertexcdata', [0 0 0]);
set (h, 'facecolor', 'flat');
set (h, 'facevertexcdata', [0 0 0; 1 0 0; 0 1 0; 0 0 1; 1 1 1]);
set (h, 'facecolor', 'r');
set (h, 'facecolor', 'flat');


i'm not exactly sure why i need to cycle it from 'flat' to something else and
back for it to recognize the facevertexcdata change. also i'm not sure why
it's not looking at cdata, since the patch was defined with (x,y, 'cdata') in
`__bar__`, but it shows the idea.
