MATLAB: Can you please help with the following code to generate a energy level diagram

image processingMATLAB

Hello everyone, I run the following code and generated the attached image. But unfortunately the horizontal bar (horizontal allignment) is missing for most of the cases. How to fix the code?
clc
clear all
close all
fig = figure('color','white','position',[40 300 700 475]);
hold on;
xlim([0 9]);
ylim([-8.5 -2.5]);
set(gca,'ydir','normal');
set(gca,'ytick',-8.5:0.5:-2.5);
ylabelString = get(gca,'yticklabel');
ylabelString{1} = 'HOMO';
ylabelString{end} = 'LUMO';
set(gca,'linewidth',3);
set(gca,'yticklabel',ylabelString);
ylabel('Energy (eV)');
set(gca,'xtick',[]);
set(gca,'xcolor',[1 1 1]);
set(gca,'fontweight','bold');
set(gca,'fontsize',12);

Best Answer

The horizontal bar is missing for few cases because you are ploting the energy1 values instead of energy2 values for few cases. For itransition 1 to 8, you can replace
plot([itransition+0.5 itransition+1],[energy1 energy1],'k','Linewidth',5);
with
plot([itransition+0.5 itransition+1],[energy2 energy2],'k','Linewidth',5);
while plotting energy2 values. And also for better readability of values, you can reduce the Linewidth.
