Thread Subject: Specify interval for axis?

Subject: Specify interval for axis?

Is it possible to specify the interval to list numbers on the axis? I
currently use:

axis([0 100 0 100])

But instead of only labeling 0, 10, 20,...,100 etc. I would like 0, 5, 10,
15, 20, ...,100 on the axis instead.

No, there is not way to set an interval. You can, though, specify
the exact ticks you want, by setting the axes XTick or YTick to the
values at which you wish a tick to be placed. For example,

set(gca,'XTick', 0:5:100);
