Format Tick Labels (Extended)

Replace Tick Label with LaTeX compatible Objects. Extends file 15986 created by Alexander Hayes.

Description

Will replace axes tick labels with formatted text objects that can include both Tex and LaTex interpreted strings. Primary example is to add degree symbols to labels. Inputs can be a cell array of strings or a single string to be appended to the end of each of the current labels. Header documentation includes several examples. Labels can also be rotated.

Introduces a distinction between offsets for the horizontal axis offsetx and for the vertical axis offsety. It took 2 minutes to modify the original file, so credit must go to Alexander Hayes. Any errors are mine, of course.

Exactly what i was looking for...

However, 2 tiny suggestions:

To be able to use Y-ticks only one should replace 2 strings around #225 with
======================================
%find out if we have to use the LaTex interpreter
all_ticks = [tickx ticky];
temp = all_ticks{1};
======================================

it's also a bit unexpected that
offsety>0 means 'left' ...

Very nice. I've wanted a way to do this for a long time.

Two improvements would be nice: (1) Add support for doing only Y ticks. (2) Check for an axis label and reposition it correctly so that it does not overlap with the new tick labels.
