How to change the axis on a chart without changing the data

I have a bar graph that shows data for bins ranging 0 to 16. Because matlab doesn't allow indexing of 0, the index for the 0 bin is 1, the index for the 1 bin is 2, ect.

How can I change the labels on the axis on the graph to reflect the ACTUAL data instead of the indices? I have tried to follow the example for gca.XTickLabel but it didn't change anything.

You have to define both 'XTick' and 'XTickLabel' when you want to use 'XTickLabel'. If you just want to number the bars though, 'XTick' alone is enough:

data = randi(10, 1, 16);        % Create Data

figure(1)
bar(data)
set(gca, 'XTick', [1:16])
