MATLAB: Controlling ylable tick of a figure

figure

Hi,
M y label tick is like
2 2.2 2.4 2.8 3 3.2 3.4 3.6
I want not to show the labels of 2 ,2.2 and 2.4 but in my figure show the rest. does anyone know how to do it ? I found a way to do it manually but I want to know how to do it in another way

This sounds like it does what you want. It is also fairly "manual", but what you want is pretty specific, so maybe that can't be avoided.
If you have a more general rule, like "I only want ticks greater than 3", then that could be put to use. However, you don't give enough detail to guess what you want.
y = [2 2.2 2.4 2.8 3 3.2 3.4 3.6];
x = y./2;
figure
plot(x,y,'.-')
set(gca,'YTick',[2.8:0.2:3.6],'YTickLabel',[2.8:0.2:3.6])
