## usage: [xb, yb] = bar (x, y)
##
## Given two vectors of x-y data, bar produces a `bar' graph.
##
## 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.
##
## If two output arguments are specified, the data are generated but
## not plotted.  For example,
##
##   bar (x, y);
##
## and
##
##   [xb, yb] = bar (x, y);
##   plot (xb, yb);
##
## are equivalent.
