MATLAB: Is it possible to plot a cell array on y axis (imagesc function)

Question

Hello,

I am plotting a 2D logical vector using imagesc and am trying to specify my y-axis. The information I want to use as my y-axis (names of Action Units) is stored in a 1×42 cell array. When I try to use this information as my y axis I receive the error: Error using set, Conversion to double from cell is not possible.

Is there anyway I can use this information as my y-axis?

Thanks in advance, Shannon

Use Yticklabel instead of ytick

set(gca, 'YTicklabel',{'AU1','AU1-2','aa' })
