Axis numbers on histogram

Hello there,
I'm trying to plot a histogram plot of departure times on the 24-hour time scale.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to achieve: http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/3032/depaturetime.jpg
My question is: How can I get the x-axis to start at 5am and finish at 4am like it is in the example. When I plot it it goes from 0 - 24.
Also how could I plot the cumulative distribution over the histogram.
My code:
DepartureTimes = load('Departure Times.txt')
h = hist(DepartureTimes,24);
h = h/sum(h);
bar(h, 'DisplayName', 'Depature Times');
legend('show');
Many thanks for your help
John

% Demo to plot histogram and cdf of grayscale image.
% By ImageAnalyst
clc; % Clear the command window.
close all; % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
imtool close all; % Close all imtool figures.
clear; % Erase all existing variables.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 14;
% Read in a standard MATLAB gray scale demo image.
folder = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox\images\imdemos');
baseFileName = 'cameraman.tif';
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
% Didn't find it there. Check the search path for it.
fullFileName = baseFileName; % No path this time.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
% Still didn't find it. Alert user.
errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist.', fullFileName);
uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
return;
end
end
grayImage = imread(fullFileName);
% Get the dimensions of the image. numberOfColorBands should be = 1.
[rows columns numberOfColorBands] = size(grayImage);
% Display the original gray scale image.
subplot(2, 2, 1);
imshow(grayImage, []);
title('Grayscale Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
set(gcf,'name','Demo by ImageAnalyst','numbertitle','off')
% Let's compute and display the histogram.
[pixelCount grayLevels] = imhist(grayImage);
subplot(2, 2, 2);
bar(pixelCount);
title('Histogram of image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
xlim([0 grayLevels(end)]); % Scale x axis manually.
grid on;
% Compute the CDF
cdf = cumsum(pixelCount) / numel(grayImage);
% Plot both hist and cdf on same plot
subplot(2,2,3);
bar(pixelCount);
hold on;
z = zeros(1,length(pixelCount));
plotyy(grayLevels, z, grayLevels, cdf);
title('Histogram and CDF of image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
xlim([0 grayLevels(end)]); % Scale x axis manually.
grid on;
