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

39 views (last 30 days)
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)

I added
xlim([0.8, 4,2]);
to make it look neater.
