how to create a numeric tick label offset

Hi, I have a plot with large numbers on the scale e.g.

384230 384231 284232

and I would like to only show the last two digits on my final plot and have an offset noted at the side of the axis, usually where the exponent is noted so that my final tick labels look like

30 31 32 .... +284200.

I know that this is possible because I had a plot once where I struggled to get rid of the automatic function but I have been looking for a solution way to long and I can't find the right Tag. I hope someone can lead me in the right direction

x=[384230 384231 284232 ...];
X0=384200;                        % offset value -- uses arbitrary origin 
hL=plot(x-X0,y);                  % plot relative the offset so get  desired tick labels range automagically
xl=xlim; yl=ylim;                 % retrieve x,y-axis limits
text(xl(end),0.95*yl(1),num2str(X0,'+%d'),'horizontalalign','right','verticalalign','top')

Salt postions to suit...just a guess. Lost access to license at least temporarily so can't test; air code...

This works even better:

xl=xlim;                  
xlabelPos=get(get(gca, 'XLabel'), 'Position');
text(xl(end),xlabelPos(2),num2str(X0,'+%d GHz'),'HorizontalAlignment','right','VerticalAlignment','top');

thanks
