+## Produce a horizontal bar graph from two vectors of x-y data.
+##
+## 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.
+##
+## The default width of 0.8 for the bars can be changed using @var{w}.
+##
+## 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 @code{"grouped"} (the default),
+## or @code{"stacked"}.
+##
+## The optional input handle @var{h} allows an axis handle to be passed.
+## Properties of the patch graphics object can be changed using
+## @var{prop}, @var{val} pairs.
+##
+## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the created
+## bar series object. See @code{bar} for a description of the use of the
+## bar series.
