Answer 1

[dpb]

set(gca,'xticklabel',[num2str([1:6].'); 'OAL'])

NB: are column vector.

ERRATUM

Account for differing string lengths in concatenation; cell strings work for that purpose--

lbl=[{num2str([1:9].','%.1f')};{'OAL'}];
set(gca,'xticklabel',lbl);

Thank you but here is a simplified code example:

ty=(rand(1,9));
tyoverall=1.0001;
ty=[ty,tyoverall];
bar(ty);
set(gca,'xticklabel',[num2str(ty(1:9).');'OAL'])

[dpb]

Oh, yeah, the strings aren't same length; use cell strings to handle this...

set(gca,'xticklabel',[{num2str(ty(1:9).','%.1f')};{'OAL'}]);
