Manipulating X-Axis Values

I made a line plot of a 30x1 matrix. Of course the values on the x-axis are 1-30 but I need to add 1970 to each of those because the axis is supposed to represent a year. Is there a way to add 1970 to each of the x-axis values? Thanks in advance.

I tried

set(gca, 'XTickLabel',1970:2000)

which changed the axis to 1970-1976 instead of 1970-2000.

One approach:

x = ...;
y = ...;

figure(1)
plot(x, y)
grid
xt = get(gca, 'XTick');
xtl = linspace(1970, 2000, numel(xt));
set(gca, 'XTick',xt, 'XTickLabel',xtl)
