MATLAB: Customised x data in matlab plot

Question

I have an x label ( starting from 0 in the axis – 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 50000, 6000)

I want to change the axis to the following starting from 0 in the axis – 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 12000

I have used the following implementation but not working

labels = [0 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000];
disp(plot(X));
set(gca, 'XTick', 1:length(labels));
set(gca, 'XTickLabel', labels);

Can someone help me out with this

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The XTick property requires a vector with numeric data, but the XTickLabel property requires a cell array.

labels = [0 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000];
disp(plot(X));
set(gca, 'XTick', 1:numel(labels));%this puts the labels at x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7
set(gca, 'XTickLabel', cellfun(@num2str,num2cell(labels));
