Thread Subject: about xticklabel

I have some problems in xticklabel

for I am plotting the stock's close value in the figure, if I use the date number as the xtick, there will be some blank areas because there are no trading in weekends.
So I use "plot(close)" and change the xticklabel to the date, but the datas are so many, it shows in mess.

How can this problem be solved?

Have a look at:
datetick
It takes date number and labels the axis using the options in datestr.

You misunderstanded me.
I don't want to use time as the xlabel because there will be some blank areas because the there are no close values in the weekend. I want the value can be continuous.
also, as I use the "datetick", when I expand the figure, I may see no xlabel.

Please don't top post. I makes the thread hard to follow.
Put your reply UNDERNEATH.

What you're looking for is idiosyncratic.
For all applications I have ever used/seen, the abscissa is
continuous.
Maybe you should transform your times into 5-day weeks and decimals of
weeks.
