	I forgot to mention that I'm using Python 2.5.2. Has anyone else 
encountered this problem?

Good morning,
I hate to ask such a newbie question but I am a newb with matplotlib :)
I want to create a bar chart with, for example, 6 "bars". I want the first
3 bars to be one color and the second 3 bars to be another color. I'm
not entirely sure how to do this - any suggestions?
Alternatively, I would like to create 6 bars where every other bar is
a different color. For example, gray, red, gray, red, gray, red. Any
suggestions on this?
TIA!
Jeff
