MATLAB: How to add minor ticks to a graph

Question

I would like to add minor ticks in between the major ticks. I would like to know if there is a function or a property which will allow me to do this.

Answer 1

There are three properties of axes that allow you to add minor ticks to the axes. They are:

 Property NameProperty Values
 -------------                      ---------------
 XMinorTick[on,{off}]
 YMinorTick[on,{off}]
 ZMinorTick[on,{off}]

Below is an example of how to use them:

plot(1:10)
set(gca,'XMinorTick','on','YMinorTick','on')

It is not possible to specify the location of the minor tick marks. Refer to the related solution for a workaround.
