MATLAB: Bar chart is not plotted evenly over the X-axis!

bar chart

Could anybody tell me why my chart is not evenly plotted?! The space on the right side is bigger than the space on the left side when I run this code:
figure('name','Bar Chart','numbertitle','off');
Zone = {'Z1','Z2','Z3','Z4','Z5','Z6','Z7','Z8','Z9','Z10','Z11','ES', ...
    'MS', 'HS', 'Hospital', 'Fire Station'};
Damage_Pct = [22 33 15 30; 30 15 20 35; 25 20 10 45; 20 10 5 65; 22 33 15 30; ...
    30 15 20 35; 25 20 10 45; 20 10 5 65; 22 33 15 30; 30 15 20 35; ...
    25 20 10 45; 20 10 5 65; 25 20 10 45; 20 10 5 65; 22 33 15 30; 30 15 20 35];
bar(Damage_Pct, 'stacked');
set(gca,'XTick',1:size(Zone,2),'XTickLabel',Zone);
title('Percentage of Damage in Different Zones');
xlabel('Zone');
ylabel('Percentage of Damage');
legend('DS1','DS2','DS3','DS4');
Thanks

I don't know why, but you can easily fix this with the axis command, or on newer releases with the xlim command.
try
    xlim([0 length(Zone)+1])
catch
    axis([0 length(Zone)+1 0 100])
end
