Hi! I have to make a bar graph and I want to change the x values to names. I tried the Matlab tutorial as I couldn't find that in octave:

x = categorical ({'small', 'medium', 'large', 'extra large')};

x= reordercats (x, {'small', 'medium', 'large', 'extralarge');

y = [5 20 77 19]

bar(x,y)

However, I got an error message. PFA the screenshot. Can you please help? 

Thank you and regards,

Is this what you wanted? I'm not familiar with categorical in MATLAB.

y = [5 20 77 19];
bar(y);
set(gca,"xticklabel",{'small', 'medium', 'large', 'extra large'});

The various properties each object have account for most of Octave's flexibility. Sometimes, however, it can be hard to know where to look. In this case, I modified the axes directly - I did not set labels through the bar function. Here are the axes properties I just used.
