MATLAB: How to create axis with perfect square ticks

axis

What should I do to plot my data along a y axis such as this:

Best Answer

The answer from @Mara provides all the tools you need, but there are still some caveats. Note that the first option will not set the spacing and the second option will cause a mismatch between the values and the labels.

I think the best solution would be to do all of these things:

Set the yticks to 0:50
Set the yticklabels to (0:50).^2
Take the sqrt of your data before plotting it

Hi Hans,

now I get it. In this special case you have to deactivate the xticklabels, too. This should works fine:

A(1,1:21)= 100000:100020;
B(1:100,1)= 1:100;
C(1:100,1:21)=33;
figure;
pcolor(A,B,C)
set(gca,'xtick',[])
set(gca,'xticklabel',[])

Best regards,

Friedrich
