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
