Problem with Xdata and Ydata scaling

Hi,
I have a little problem with the use of XData. I am plotting and imagesc, for example for the matrix:
A=[ 5 6 4 8; 8 12 23 31;15 9 27 5];

The default Xdata scaling would be: 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5
(as size(A,1)=4

If I want to have (for example): 3 6 9 12, (only in with tick in the center of the squares, ie avoid the intermediate ticks and labels) how can I do?

I tried with:
x=[3 12];
imagesc(matriz,'XData',x)

but that doesn't work well, the ticks are not placed where I want.
Please, any help will be very appreciated!

I think that this code is the solution of your problem:
A=[ 5 6 4 8; 8 12 23 31;15 9 27 5];
x = 3:3:12
y = 1:3
imagesc(x,y,A)

Hi Grzegorz,
Thanks for the reply, but it gives the same result as my example...: the axis is in fact scaled from 3 to 12, but it gives ticks for 2 4 6 8 10 12...
I need only ticks in the center of the squares, ie here 3 6 9 12, I don't want to see other ticks and labels... that make sense?
Thank you a lot

Camille.

Then SET the XTick property of the axes. You may want to adjust the
XTickLabel property of the axes as well. See DOC SET for more information
about setting Handle Graphics properties.
