Create Bar Charts with different bar colours with a legend

Hi,

I would like to create a bar chart (not stacked) with different colour for each bar. But it should also include a legend (in the top right of the bar chart) with the names for each coloured bar (=the variable names). Thank you for your help.

% here is my code
for f=1:nBEKBFonds
    figure(f)
    pInd=transpose(peersInd==f);
    % choose corresponding funds for each strategie
    Var1=TotRetBEKB(1,f);
    Var2=TotRetPeers(1,pInd);
    VarPlot=[Var1,Var2];  
    % plot 
    bar(VarPlot);
    grid on
    .
    .
end

This is a popular assignment today. See this post.

As for the legend, it's pretty simple. Take a look at this doc page for how to do it.
