MATLAB: Bar plot

bar

I am making a bar plot. I want to put text labels for each x value. the text lables, however, are located at the end of each bar on X axis. I wonder how I can put them in the center of bars. I apperciate your help.

Using my magic ball I will try to answer the question with one example made by me and based on the reference at the bottom

fruit = [2 5 6 7]
h=bar(fruit)
l={'apples', 'oranges', 'strawberries', 'pears'}
y=get(h,'Ydata');
x=get(h,'Xdata');
text(x-x(1)/3,y/2,l,'FontSize',18)

MATLAB: “plot” function for some repetitive X values

I am not sure if I understand correctly.. is this what you are looking for?

myTicks = 1:20;
y = rand(1,length(myTicks));
plot(myTicks,y)
set(gca, 'xTick', myTicks);
% Modifying Tick Labels in X-axis
myTicks(myTicks > 10) = 10:-1:1;
set(gca, 'xTicklabel', myTicks)

Update after comment.

Let X be a matrix with two columns and the values in your comment:

plot(X(:,2))
set(gca, 'xTick', 1:size(X,1))
set(gca, 'xTicklabel','')
h = get(gca, 'XLabel');
set(h,'Units','data'); 
pos = get(h,'Position'); 
y = pos(2);
hLabels = zeros(1,size(X,1));
labels = num2str(X(:,1));
for i = 1:size(labels,1) 
  hLabels(i) = text(i,y,labels(i,:)); 
end 
set(hLabels,'Rotation',45,'HorizontalAlignment','right')

Or you can do:

plot(X(:,2))
set(gca, 'xTick', 1:size(X,1))
set(gca, 'xTicklabel', num2str(X(:,1)))

and use XTICKLABEL_ROTATE to rotate the X-labels.

MATLAB: How to change x axis labelling

set(gca,'XTickLabel',x)

This command is working for me

Maybe due to your MATLAB version it is not working for you

Try converting categorical to cell using cellstr

set(gca,'XTickLabel',cellstr(x))
