Default axes for plot

Hi. According to the Matlab tutorial, when I plot a column vector of doubles (lets call this vector z), the default y-axis created by plot(z) should be of doubles corresponding to the values in my vector. However, when I do this, the y-axis consists only of the integer values at the endpoints of the interval containing my doubles. e.g. if z = (1.12, 5.43, 7.54) (as a column vector, though), the y-axis will list off 1,2,3,...8. How do I change this for each graph? Also, how do I change the default so that the axis lists the corresponding doubles? Thanks.

(Note: I am an absolute beginner with Matlab, so please treat me accordingly.)

x=[0 1 2]
y= [1.12, 5.43, 7.54]
plot(x,y)
set(gca,'ytick',y,'xtick',x)

I am told that the "values must be monotonically increasing." The actual set of values I am using this for is not.

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

set(gca,'ytick',sort(y),'xtick',sort(x))

Even doubles with integer values are doubles, because this defines the type of the variable, not the value.

The problem is not clear to me. It is more clear, if you post your code instead of describing, what the code should do. Which values are not sorted?

Perhaps this helps:

x = rand(1, 10);
y = rand(1, 10);
subplot(1,3,1);
plot(x,y);
[xs, index] = sort(x);
ys = y(index);
subplot(1,3,2);
plot(xs,ys);
subplot(1,3,3);
plot(xs,ys);
set(gca, 'XLim', [min(x), max(x)], 'XTick', x);
