MATLAB: Plotting a horizontal line at each data point

MATLAB and Simulink Student Suiteplotting

How to plot a horizontal line at each co-ordinate.Here consider 1a,1b, 1c etc as horizontal points, energy values as vertical points.Also how to indicate which color is used for which.pls help.

Try this:
x = 1:10; % Create Data


yh = rand(size(x))-2; % Create Data
yl = rand(size(x))-4; % Create Data
hl = @(x,y,l,c) plot(x+[-l l], y*[1 1],c); % Anonymous Function To Draw Horizontal Lines
figure
hold on
for k = 1:numel(x)
hl(x(k),yh(k),0.5,'b')
hl(x(k),yl(k),0.5,'r')
text(x(k),yh(k), sprintf('%5.2f',yh(k)), 'VerticalAlignment','bottom', 'HorizontalAlignment','center')
text(x(k),yl(k), sprintf('%5.2f',yl(k)), 'VerticalAlignment','top', 'HorizontalAlignment','center')
text(x(k),yh(k),'\uparrow', 'VerticalAlignment','top', 'HorizontalAlignment','center')
text(x(k),yl(k),'\downarrow', 'VerticalAlignment','bottom', 'HorizontalAlignment','center')
text(x(k), mean([yh(k) yl(k)]), sprintf('%5.2f',(yh(k)-yl(k))), 'VerticalAlignment','middle', 'HorizontalAlignment','center')
plot([1 1]*x(k),[yl(k) yh(k)+sign(yh(k))*0.1], '-k', 'LineWidth',0.5)
end
yl = ylim;
ylim(yl+[-1 1]*0.2)
