Renumber an axis of a figure

I am plotting a figure in which the adjacent elements of the x-axis are 1.224 meters apart. The x-label of the plotted figure will give an impression that the elements are 1 meter apart.

How do I change the numbers on the x-axis to reflect this?

You can replace the 'XTick' member of the axis. Here, I just use the handle to the current axis.

x = 0:1.224:10;
y = rand(1,numel(x));
plot(x,y,'.-');
set(gca, 'XTick', x);
