## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{h} =} bar (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{style})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{xb}, @var{yb}] =} bar (@dots{})
## Given two vectors of x-y data, @code{bar} produces a bar graph.
##
## If only one argument is given, it is taken as a vector of y-values
## and the x coordinates are taken to be the indices of the elements.
##
## If @var{y} is a matrix, then each column of @var{y} is taken to be a
## separate bar graph plotted on the same graph. By default the columns
## are plotted side-by-side. This behavior can be changed by the @var{style}
## argument, which can take the values 'group' (the default), or 'stack'.
##
## If two output arguments are specified, the data are generated but
## not plotted.  For example,
##
## @example
## bar (x, y);
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## and
##
## @example
## [xb, yb] = bar (x, y);
## plot (xb, yb);
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## are equivalent.
