Why can't I use a 1x19 string to assign y-tick values on a barh plot?

The labels for my bar plot are assigned based on a previous for loop, which could vary in length depending on the data I am processing. This produces a 1xn string. I am trying to use that string to assign the y-tick labels for the chart, but only the first value is being plotted.

Any help with this?

%%Producing the bar labels

for i5=1:Doff

DoffValue(:,i5)=DoffOutput(:,3,i5);

DoffColour(:,i5)=DoffOutput(:,2,i5);

DoffTime(1,i5)=(DoffOutput(Time,1,i5)-(fix(c(1,1))));

Day(1,i5)=fix(DoffTime(1,i5));

Hour(1,i5)=fix((DoffTime(1,i5)-fix(DoffTime(1,i5)))*24);

MinuteCount(1,i5)=fix((((DoffTime(1,i5)-fix(DoffTime(1,i5)))*24)-Hour(1,i5))*60);

DoffTimeText(i5)=sprintf("Day %d %d:%d",Day(1,i5),Hour(1,i5),MinuteCount(1,i5));

end

%% Assigning y-tick labels

yticklabels(DoffTimeText);

You also have to setup the location of the ticks accordingly.

In the following example I set the range of y axis between 0 and 1 and if I want to display 5 ticks labels I have to specify their location using 'YTick'.

Is similar to use Coordinate-Value pairs.

data = rand(50,2);

tickText = cell(5,1);
for j = 1 : length(tickText)
    tickText{j} = ['This is Tick ' num2str(j)];
end

yRange = [0,1];
ticks = yRange(1):diff(yRange)/(length(tickText)-1):yRange(2);

figure;
grid on;
scatter(data(:,1),data(:,2),50,'d','filled')
set(gca,'YTick',ticks,'YTickLabel',tickText)

tickText

tickText = 5×1 cell array
    {'This is Tick 1'}
    {'This is Tick 2'}
    {'This is Tick 3'}
    {'This is Tick 4'}
    {'This is Tick 5'}

ticks

ticks = 1×5

0 0.2500 0.5000 0.7500 1.0000

You can invert the order with flip.

figure;
grid on;
scatter(data(:,1),data(:,2),50,'d','filled')
set(gca,'YTick',ticks,'YTickLabel',flip(tickText))
