How to change tick mark color on image plot.

Hello,

I have a .jpg image that is plotted via image(). I need to have the tick marks inward with 'white' color. I'm able to change the tick marks to inward, but I'm unable to show the tick marks color in 'white'. If I have the tick mark outward, I can see the 'white' tick mark, when I have the tick mark inward, all tick marks just disappeared in the background color of the image. I searched and could not find a solution. May someone please help?

Thank you!

I know I've solved the opposite of this problem, where someone needed tick marks covered up; unfortunately I cannot think of the proper keywords to find that newsreader posting now.

Using 'Layer' property and setting it to top solved my issue. Thank you again for your help!

The following command will change of the color of the x-axis tick marks and labels:

 >> set(gca,'XColor',[1 1 1]); % Set RGB value to what you want

Hi Cyslist,

Thank you for your help. I tried it before, it does not work if I have the tick mark direction set to 'inward'. The 'white' tick marks only show when it's outward. I need the tick marks to be 'inward'. Anything else you can suggest?

>> load spine

>> image(X)

>> set(gca,'TickDir','in'); % Were already inward, but just to be sure

>> set(gca,'XColor',[1 1 1])

works for me. But you might consider Walter's idea instead.

Thanks a lot. So simple solution. It's very helpful when using double axis.

Consider using the MATLAB File Exchange contribution plt -- if it does not have an option for this, then you should be able to modify the code to handle it.
