MATLAB: How to increase xticks and labels

axisdata importdata preprocessingdata scienceMATLAB

How to increase x-ticks and x-ticks labels here?

You can specify the xticks manually. For example:

ax = gca;
dist = days(10);
ax.XTick = date(1):dist:date(end)

You may want to change the format from MMM to something else though.

For example:

ax.XAxis.TickLabelFormat = 'MMM dd'

Adjust xtick axis property.

This method below specifies 6 ticks that start and end at your existing tick bounds

ax = gca(); 
ax.XTick = linspace(ax.XTick(1),ax.XTick(end),6); 
%---------------------------------------------^ 6 ticks
