hello,
i want to plot my bar in two colors conditions.if Tr<0 the color is red else the color is green. Ihqve tryed this but it didn't works.
can you help me please
T=readtable('file.xlsx');
A=T{:,:};
Tr=A(:,1);
EPR=A(:,2);
for i=1:length(A)
h=bar(Tr,EPR)
hold on
if (Tr<0)
barcolor='r';
else
barcolor='g'
end
end

figure();
hold on
for i=1:length(A)
if (Tr(i)<0)
h=bar(Tr(i),EPR(i),'r');
else
h=bar(Tr(i),EPR(i),'g');
end
end
hold off

Just a note: it is bad design to use length for matrices. It is also probably not a good idea to create many bar objects, as that many graphics objects may cause performance issues.

If you insist on separate bar objects you can use the first part, if not, you can use the second part
figure(2),clf(2)%ensure a clean figure for this example
A=rand(10,2)*5-2.5;%generate random data
Tr=A(:,1);
EPR=A(:,2);
subplot(1,2,1)
%for i=1:length(A)
for n=1:size(A,1)% or since R2020b: n=1:height(A)
width=0.05;
h=bar(Tr(n),EPR(n),width);
hold on
if (Tr(n)<0)
h.FaceColor='r';
else
h.FaceColor='g';
end
end
subplot(1,2,2)
L=Tr<0;
EPR_part=EPR;EPR_part(~L)=NaN;% this step is only require to make the bars the same width
bar(Tr,EPR_part,'r'),hold on
EPR_part=EPR;EPR_part( L)=NaN;
bar(Tr,EPR_part,'g'),hold off

thank you for the answer,
the code did not work well. that shows a green plot bar. and for the width, i have 2560 values so width is not necessary. i just want to plot it with two colors with a specific condition

Did you run my code with the generated random data, or with only your own data? This code does what you describe when I run it on R2020b. What release are you using?
oh, my bad ! it was a probleme with my data . so the code works perfectly thank you for your effort
and am using R2018b
