2 XTick are existing on one plot!

I'm trying to change the x ticks on a plotyy(x,y1,x,y2). This is what I'm doing:

set(gca,'XTick',[0:4:64])

However, the plotyy wants to use something more like [0:10:70], so I am getting my 0:4:64 ticks, but they are just being overlaid over the default ticks. Basically it's just really hard to read and the default ticks do not work for my application.

Answer 1

plotyy creates two axes objects. So do not use gca but the handles replied by AX = plotyy().

I would like to comment here just to say that I thought that I could only edit the y-axes by using AX(1) and AX(2) handles. However, by using

set(AX,'XTick',[0:4:64])

I was able to set both AX axes handles to make the x-axis ticks change correctly.

Thanks!
