colormap problem. bar graph doesn`t respond to colormap command

I use matlab 2018b version.

colormap option still works with bar3 graphs, but doesn`t work with bar graphs.

bar3(rand(5),'stacked')
colormap(cool)

bar(rand(5),'stacked')
colormap(cool)

is there an alternative way to set the colormap for bar graph?

I sure hope there's an answer to this. I can't change the colormap in a bar chart anymore. Very frustrating.

I finally figured out how to get the colormap to respond. When you change the colormap, you now have to take an extra step to assign the sets of bars to rows in the colormap. Here is an example for a bar plot with 2 groups.

>> y=randn(6,2);

>> b=bar(y,'facecolor','flat');

>> for k=1:size(y,2)

b(k).CData=k;

end

>> colormap copper

Clunky, but it works. Mathworks made something complicated that used to be simple.

I just answered a similar question here. It is still possible, but it appears the way to do it has changed.
