Hi everyone,

I need to apply text (string) labels instead of usual
numbers to the x-axis of my bar plots, but couldn't find
anyway to change them as in h=bar() and set(h,...). Does
anybody know how to do that?
Many thanks in advance :)

Use cell arrays as follows:


bar([3 4 5])
set(gca,'XTickLabel',{'me','myself','&I'})

What will make the labels appear vertical instead of horizontal?
Thanks,

There is a Matlab File Exchange (FEX) contribution to create
rotated tick labels.
--
Q = quotation(rand);
if isempty(Q); error('Quotation server filesystem problems')
else sprintf('%s',Q), end
