MATLAB: About axis ticks: how to set 10 ticks with 5 labels

Question

Hi everyone,

I want the axis to have ticks at 1:1:10, and tick labels only at 2:2:10

Anybody know how to do this? I tried

x=1:10;
y = x;
plot(x, y)
ylim([0 10])
set(gca,'YTick', 1:1:10, 'YTickLabel', 2:2:10 );
set(gcf,'PaperUnits','inches','PaperPosition',[0 0 2 2])
print(gcf,'-dtiffn','-r600', 'test.tiff');

The result is something that doesn't make sense. See attachment please.

x=1:10;
y = x;
plot(x, y)
ylim([0 10])
set(gca,'YTick', 1:1:10, 'YTickLabel', {'' '2' '' '4' '' '6' '' '8' '' '10'}  );
