Create patches of colored polygons - MATLAB patch

By A Mystery Man Writer

This MATLAB function creates one or more patches of colored polygons by specifying X and Y as the coordinates for each vertex.
Create a single polygon by specifying the (x,y) coordinates of each vertex. Then, add two more polygons to the figure.
Define X as a vector of categorical values, and define Y as a vector of duration values. The patch function uses a sorted list of categories, so the x-axis might display them in a different order than you expect. To specify the order, call the reordercats function. Then, create a red patch to visualize the data.
Create a single polygon by specifying the coordinates of each unique vertex and a matrix that defines how to connect them. Then, add two more polygons to the figure.
Create two polygons and use a different color for each polygon face. Use a colorbar to show how the colors map into the colormap.
Interpolate colors across polygon faces by specifying a color at each polygon vertex, and use a colorbar to show how the colors map into the colormap.
Create a polygon with green edges and do not display the face. Then, create a second polygon with a different color for each edge.
Use a structure to create two polygons. First, create a structure with fields names that match patch property names. Then, use the structure to create the polygons.
Create two semitransparent polygons by setting the FaceAlpha property to a value between 0 and 1.
Create a multicolored line with markers at each vertex. Interpolate the colors and use a colorbar to show how the values map to the colormap.
