Gantt Chart in Matlab - matlab

Question

Do you know how to plot a Gantt chart in Matlab without using a third-party software?
At the end I would love to obtain something like this:
What I was able to obtain so far is
using this code:
% Create data for childhood disease cases
measles = [38556 24472 14556 18060 19549 8122 28541 7880 3283 4135 7953 1884]';
mumps = [20178 23536 34561 37395 36072 32237 18597 9408 6005 6268 8963 13882]';
chickenPox = [37140 32169 37533 39103 33244 23269 16737 5411 3435 6052 12825 23332]';
% Create a stacked bar chart using the bar function
fig = figure;
bar(1:12, [measles mumps chickenPox], 0.5, 'stack');
axis([0 13 0 100000]);
title('Childhood diseases by month');
xlabel('Month');
ylabel('Cases (in thousands)');
legend('Measles', 'Mumps', 'Chicken pox');
That is not what I want but, maybe, goes in this direction

Answer 1

Here, I share the solution I have just found (maybe it is not the most elegant one but it works for the purpose I have):
[the main idea is to draw a bar and "delete" the beginning overdrawing up on it another white bar]
Let's say you have two vector:
start =[6907402; 2282194; 4579536; 2300332; 10540; 2307970; 4603492; 0];
stop =[9178344; 9168694;6895050; 4571400; 2280886; 4579044; 6897152 ;2271186];
There are 8 elements in each: every element is a task. In the start array, there is the start time of each task and in stop there is the end of the "execution" of a given task.
barh(stop)
hold on
barh(start,'w')
At the end here you have the Gantt:
UPDATE:
My scripts are evolved of course and, more, on the matlab website, there is more information. Here 2 example more to complete the answer:
Option 1:
Positions=[1,2,3,4];
Gap_Duration=[0,2,5,3,5,3;
3,5,3,5,3,4;
9,3,0,0,12,2;
13,2,2,2,8,3];
barh(Positions,Gap_Duration,'stacked');
Option 2:
Positions=[1,2,3,4];
Gap_Duration=[0,2,5,3,5,3;
3,5,3,5,3,4;
9,3,0,0,12,2;
13,2,2,2,8,3];
barh(Positions,Gap_Duration,'stacked');
set(H([1 3 5]),'Visible','off')
