using XTick

Apologies for the rudimentary question, I'm very much a novice with Matlab. I am trying to set the x axis tick marks for a figure using XTick and it's not working. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here? The code is this:

figure

plot(damp1,'+r')

hold on

plot(damp2,'+r')

plot(lamp1,'ob')

plot(lamp2,'ob')

plot(mean,'xk' )

XTick = [0:1:6]

xlabel('Sample')

ylabel('Depth(m)')

legend('daily amplitude +','daily amplitude -','lunar amplitude +','lunar amplitude -','mean depth')

hold off

Hi Jenny, use set(gca,'xtick')

plot(randn(17,1));
XTick = [0:16];
set(gca,'xtick',XTick)

Prefer "0:16" instead of "[0:16]". Using square brackets around a vector, converts it to a vector. This wastes time.

Thank you!

Hi Jenny,

In the program you have written you have not specified the variables. That is what you are storing in damp1, lamp1 etc is not specified. So that is a problem and may result in errors.

However even if you define all the variables, you should set Tick as follows :-

set(gca,'XTick',0:1:6); I am not describing the details as u r a new user. If you want to know more. just mail back to me

HAPPY TO HELP

Sorry, I didn't include the previous part of the file where the variables are defined. Thanks for the tip.
