MATLAB: How to: xtick visibility

xtick line

how can i make xtick line visible: example, at 6 it is visible, but where there is data it is not…

figure(1);
aH = axes;
hist(randn(1,1000));
set(aH,'TickDir','out');

Alternatively:

figure(2);
aH = axes;
hist(randn(1,1000));
h = findobj(aH,'Type','patch');
set(h,'facealpha',0.5)

In order for a line drawn on one axes to appear behind a line drawn on another axes, the entire axes of the line must be behind the other axes.

You might end up having to use a third axes with the same position and axes limits as the first axes, but uistack()'d behind both other axes.

xbounds = xlim;
set(gca,'XTick',xbounds(1):xbounds(2));
