remove certain yticklabels from axis

I have a plot that has a yaxis range from 0 to 9.

I only want the yticklabels for 1 to 8 to be visible.

I have tried:

yticks      = get(gca,'YTick');
ytickLabels = get(gca,'YTickLabel');
set(gca,'YTick',yticks(1:1:8), 'YTickLabel',ytickLabels(1:1:8));

But this doesnt work. How do I not show the 0 and the 9 on the ytick labels? Thanks

Change the set call to:

set(gca,'YTick',1:1:8, 'YTickLabel',1:1:8);

Thankyou, I alos just worked out that this works too:

set(gca,'YTick',yticks(2:1:9), 'YTickLabel',ytickLabels(2:1:9));

My pleasure!

Yes. You can set the 'YTickLabel' vector to whatever you want, including strings (using a cell array). The only restriction is that you have to set the positions of the 'YTick' values, and there have to be equal numbers of 'YTick' and 'YTickLabel' entries.

Perhaps,

set(gca,'YLim',[1,8]);

But then I dont see the 0 and 9 grid line, I need to see these.
