I am plotting two arrays in one plot. The bar plot must show two y-axis as well as the bars next to each other. The problem occurs when I want to implement both requirements.

I can either plot the bars together with for example

Y = [5,2; 8,7; 9,8; 5,5; 4,3]; figure bar(Y)

Or I can create two y-axis (which I do currently with my data):

y = [lr_flights2018, lr_income2018]; yyaxis left b = bar(1:length(y),lr_flights2018); ylabel('Life Rating/flights ratio') yyaxis right p = bar(1:length(y),lr_income2018); ylabel('Life Rating/income ratio') set(gca, 'XTick', 1:length(y)) set(gca,'XTickLabel',{countries{:,1}}) xtickangle(90) title('Correlations with life rating');

In the latter yyaxis separates the plots which results in the two plots stacked together. I want the plots to stand side by side for each bin as can be seen in this example.

You can do this by manipulating the x position and the bar width

I manipulated your Y data as shown below, and made some new labels for the countries which you didn't provide in your example

figure; Y = [5,2; 8,7; 9,8; 5,5; 4,3];; lr_flights2018 = Y(:,1); lr_income2018 = Y(:,2); y = [lr_flights2018, lr_income2018]; yyaxis left b = bar((1:length(y))+0.125,lr_flights2018, 'barwidth', 0.25); ylabel('Life Rating/flights ratio') yyaxis right p = bar((1:length(y))-0.125,lr_income2018, 'barwidth', 0.25); ylabel('Life Rating/income ratio') set(gca, 'XTick', 1:length(y)) str = strread ( sprintf ( '%i\n', [1:5] ), '%s', 'delimiter', '\n' ) set(gca,'XTickLabel',str) xtickangle(90) title('Correlations with life rating');
