Note that you'd still need the year. But if you know that then:

 your_date = datenum(your_year-1, 12, 31, 0, 0, 0) + ordinal_day;

Ordinal_day goes from 1 to 365.

In your linspace() use numtick+1 .

For example suppose there was a difference of 1 year, 365 days. The serial date difference would be 365, round(365/365) would be 1, and then your current code would try to represent that 1 year range as a single value whereas you want one for the beginning and one for the end.

Also, you might have to cellstr() around the datestr() call.

d1 = datevec(date());
datestr([d1(1)-1 d1(2)+6 1 0 0 0])

This uses the trick that you cannot go negative on months, but you can go back a year and forward 6 months from there.

Do not use -6*30 as that does not take in to account the length of months and will not handle leap-years properly.
