<div dir="ltr">if you ever try to run xcbar with no arguments, a help menu should appear and indicate all possible inputs and arguments. To answer your question, you can use the first four arguments to set the x-limits and y-limits of the color bar. The code will assume that if you choose really narrow x-limits and comparatively larger y-limits that you are looking for a vertical color bar, and will plot it as such.<div><br></div><div>Jeff Duda</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jun 7, 2019 at 12:57 PM Tracey <<a href="mailto:tdorian10@gmail.com">tdorian10@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Hi,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">H<span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">ow can I plot a <b><u>vertical</u> </b>colorbar using</span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> </span><a href="http://xcbar.gs/" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" target="_blank">xcbar.gs</a><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">?

Does anyone know how to make the colorbar vertical? I prefer to use xcbar instead of cbarn since I don't believe one can use a skip (-fs in <a href="http://xcbar.gs" target="_blank">xcbar.gs</a>) function with <a href="http://cbarn.gs" target="_blank">cbarn.gs</a>.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Thanks,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Tracey</div></div>
