MATLAB: Make Candle chart more Readable.

Question

Hello!

I wonder if it is possible to modify the default candle plot parameters in such a way (or to assign the property to the chart object) so that the candles are plotted in the following format:

Down candles are red And up candles are green.

Example of the stock chart can be found here:

I modified the default Black candle stick chart in the chart editor by changing the patch face colors. I wonder if this can be done from the scrip???

Thanks!

Something like that:

load disney.mat
candle(dis('3/31/98::4/30/98'))
title('Disney 3/31/98 to 4/30/98')
ch = get(gca,'children');
set(ch(1),'FaceColor','r')
set(ch(2),'FaceColor','g')
