Thread Subject: Changing XTick Labels

Hello Everybody!

I guess this is a very simple question:

I have the following figure, which works out fine:

figure
bar( PCTNG_SH_first, 'k')
axis ([1 51 0 1])
hold on
bar( PCTNG_SH_first_right, 'b')
hold on
bar( PCTNG_SH_first_hit, 'r')
hold off

Now I just want to change/convert the number lables on the X-axes. Instead of ranging from 1:51 in increments of 1, I want the X-Axis Tick lables to be displayes from 1:1.05 in increments of .001.

I tried playing around with set(gca,'XTickLabel',['1';'1,001';'1,05'])...
and the axis command, but I did not get it.

I would be glad if one of you could help me with this!

Thanks

Julie

Hi!

Just type the expression itself.
Ex:
set(gca,'XTickLabel',1:.001:1.05);

Hello Shan!

I tried this already but it does not work.
on the x axis there are 51 bars and bar one should get the value 1, bar 2 the value 1.001,..., bar 51 = value 1.05.
If I use your command 1.001 appears at the 10th bar instead of labeling the second bar on the x axis. And bar 51 gets the value of 1.0051 instead of 1.5.

Maybe you know a different way to getting matlab to display the x axis in the desired format

Best
