Smaller values not seen in bar graph

Hi, I want to show boundaries of two variables in bar graph. However, when I add second variable to bar graph, smaller value of first value disappear in bar graph (such as y=7, y=8). I didnt find way to make it appears.

X=[5 4 3];
Y=[1 7 8];
bar(X)
hold on 
bar(Y)

X=[5 4 3];
Y=[1 7 8];
bar([X; Y]')

figure
bar(X)
hold on 
bar(Y, 'FaceAlpha', .5);  % transparency

figure
XMin = min(X, Y)';
XMax = max(X, Y)';
bar([XMin, XMax-XMin], 'stacked')

% Idea solution: Plot each bar individually
n = numel(X);
figure; hold on
for i=1:n
    if X(i)>Y(i)
        bar(i, X(i), 'r');
        bar(i, Y(i), 'b');
    else
        bar(i, Y(i), 'b');
        bar(i, X(i), 'r');
    end
end

Thanks dear Chunru, second bar shows boundaries nicely, but only problem is colurs are different

[Chunru]

The transparency make the overlapping colors different. Another non ideal solution is given above.

See the updated for an ideal solution.

Oh. The last solution worked perfectly!. Thanks a lot for the help.

You can go ahead like this right?

X=[5 4 3];
Y=[1 7 8];
x = 1:3 ;
bar(x,[X;Y])

Or you can try:

bar([X' Y'],'stacked')

Unfortunately, I dont want them like first way because i will draw line graph too. The graph will be sophisticated. Second graph adds y to x. I dont want summation.
