Set datetick to month, independent of year

I have a list of dates of different years (in "Dates"-column), which I want to plot as a histogram over one year. I have thus converted the dates to day of year ("doy" column) and plotted it, see figure below.

My short code is:

file_mat.doy=day(file_mat.Date,'dayofyear');

figure

histogram(file_mat.doy, 'BinWidth',5,'FaceColor',[0 .5 .5]);

I want the x-axis to show the months from Jan to Dec at equal intervals, instead of the day of year. How can I do that?

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please tell what exact information are you trying to plot. Because the mat file provided does not contain data corresponding to all months in an year. Also, there are multiple data for same month in an year.
