Hey, I'm trying to customize my colorbar, in MATLAB. Where i would like my colorbar to have distinct boarders between each value.
i've tried
c=colorbar('yticklabel',{'PP', 'PP+DF', 'DF', 'DF+RG', 'DF+FC','PPgp','RG', 'MF+RG', 'RG+FC', 'FC', 'FC+DH', 'DH', 'MF', 'MF+DH','MF+FC'});
and
c=colorbar
set(c,'yticklabel',{'PP', 'PP+DF', 'DF', 'DF+RG', 'DF+FC','PPgp','RG', 'MF+RG', 'RG+FC', 'FC', 'FC+DH', 'DH', 'MF', 'MF+DH','MF+FC'});
which obviously does the exact same thing. When i run the script the colorbar, appear with no distinct "boarder" - and i only get 7 of the labels to appear next to the colorbar, where i would like to get all of them to appear, all with their own distinct color.
All help would by appreciated!:)

You need to change the YTick as well as the label. It will only use as many labels as there are ticks. If there were more ticks than labels it would just cycle round the labels.

To get lines between the sections you need to turn Grid on. That is possible in r2014a and earlier but at the moment I do not recall if it can be done with later versions (which are implemented differently)
