thanks for hellllp :)
.plot([posx posx+Element(i).W posx+Element(i).W posx posx],...
[posy posy posy+Element(i).H posy+Element(i).H posy],...
'-','color',cl(i,:))

Try this:
With the vertices you have, create surfaces and adjust the Z value to see the overlap. However, this way hides the overlapped regions and shows only the top most surface as shown in the attached image.
h=figure;
surf([0 1;0 1],[0 0;1 1],[1 1;1 1]);
hold on;
surf([0 2;0 2],[0 0;2 2],[1 1;1 1]-0.01);
surf([1.4 1.8;1.4 1.8],[1.4 1.4;1.8 1.8],[1 1;1 1]+0.01);
surf([0.7 1.2;0.7 1.2],[0.7 0.7;1.2 1.2],[1 1;1 1]+0.02);
view([0 90]);
Result:
Hope this helps.

Did you try the rectangle() function? It has options for 'FaceColor', and 'EdgeColor'.

thanks for answer ...
i tried but this fuction can not gives different colors for rectangles in same loop
If you are using rectangle() inside the loop and have manageable number of them, make sure to alter the 'FaceColor' and 'EdgeColor' properties each time the method is invoked.
% this way you will have more control over coloring them
edge_colors = {'k','r','b','m','g','c'};
face_colors = {'k','r','b','m','g','c'};
h = figure;
clf;
hold on;
for i =1:n
rectangle([ ],[ ],'FaceColor',face_colors{i},'EdgeColors',edge_colors{i});
end
thank you ..it was so useful

Try this:
numRects = 20;
positions = rand(numRects, 4); % Positions = [x, y, width, height]
% this way you will have more control over coloring them
edge_colors = rand(numRects, 3);
face_colors = rand(numRects, 3);
h = figure;
clf;
hold on;
for k = 1 : numRects
rectangle('Position', positions(k, :), 'FaceColor',face_colors(k, :),'EdgeColor',edge_colors(k, :), 'LineWidth', 2);
end
grid on;
