MATLAB: Simple 2D plot; Any way I can use String for xtick

Question

I am going to put four ticks on horizontal axis such as

t=1:1:4

However, actually, each number implies scenarios. So, instead of using that, I'd like to use such as

t=['Scenario1', 'Scenario2', 'Scenario3','Scenario4'];
y=[33 55 66 77];
plot(t,y)

However, as expected, the result shows an error message saying that t is not going to be converted to number.

Is there any way I can put these strings as x tick?

Hi, Yes, there are a number of ways. Here is one:

y = [33 55 66 77];
plot(y)
set(gca,'xtick',1:4);
set(gca,'xticklabel',{'Scenario1', 'Scenario2', 'Scenario3','Scenario4'},'fontsize',8)
