Changing the axis of a histogram plot in Matlab

I want to simulate values that represent a geometric distribution. The plot I have done using the code below seems to produce the right plot. But I want the x axis is badly out of position and also I want the x-axis to be numbered 1,2,3,etc instead of the 10,20,30,etc that I receive now. I also want to plot the Y-axis as a log scale.I am trying to get the plot of 'X' given in the code.

    %Geometric Distribution%
    N=100;%Number of simulation
    P=0.1;
    X=zeros(N,1);%simulation data
    Ti=0;%Counter

    for Ti=2:N
      U=rand(1);
      a=log10(U);
      b=log10(1-P);
      c=(a/b);
      d=1+round(c);
      X(Ti)=d;
      Ti=Ti+1;
    end

    t = 0:N-1;
    hist(X);

I am not 100% sure what you mean, but I'll make my best guess.

If in place of you hist() command, you do this:

 h = hist(X,1:max(X));
 bar(1:max(X),h)
 set(gca,'Yscale','log')

then I believe you get what you want. I did three things here:

• Used the second argument to the hist() command, to specify the bins to be 1,2,3, etc.
• Got the output from the hist() command (i.e. the frequency count), and used the bar command to plot.
• Set the scale of the y axis to be log rather than linear, using the 'YScale' property of the current axis. (gca is "get current axis")
