How to represent bar plots efficiently?

1 view (last 30 days)
I have a set of data, where the 2nd value is very very small compared to the first. Thus, it is very difficult to visually see. So is there any way to tweak the plot for visual experience? or any suggestions apart from bar plot?
% Example data (replace with your data)
values = [0.0159, 0.00005];
% Create a bar plot with log scale y-axis
figure;
bar(values, 'FaceColor', [0.5 0.5 0.5], 'EdgeColor', 'none');
ylabel('Values ');
xticks(1:length(values));
xticklabels({'Value 1', 'Value 2'});

One option is to use a logarithmic scale on the y-axis, and then tweak the ylim limits —
% Example data (replace with your data)
values = [0.0159, 0.00005];
% Create a bar plot with log scale y-axis
figure;
bar(values, 'FaceColor', [0.5 0.5 0.5], 'EdgeColor', 'none');
Ax = gca; % <— ADDED
Ax.YScale = 'log'; % <— ADDED
ylim([1E-5 max(ylim)]) % <— ADDED
ylabel('Values ');
xticks(1:length(values));
xticklabels({'Value 1', 'Value 2'});
grid
.
