Seems to work fine for me. I checked with

figure(1); bar(1:3, rand(3,4),'grouped'); figure(2); bar(1:3,
rand(3,4),'stacked')

and the figures were plotted correctly. Note that the arguments are
"grouped" and "stacked" rather than "group" and "stack" as in the bar
and barh functions in 2.9.15.. The attached documentation patch should
be applied
