Hi,
I've done a simple histogram in Matlab and now I want to change the last tick on x axis. Instead of the "3" number I want string "Others".
How can I do it? I'm at R2015b.
The histogram was done by histogram() function.

Try
>> get(gca,'XTicklabel')
and hack that.

Hack the final xticklabel
x = randn(1e5,1); x= x-min(x)+1;
histogram(log(x))
xlim([0,3])
xt = xticklabels;
xt{end} = 'other'
xticklabels(xt)

Unfortunately, this isn't working – error ''Undefined function or variable 'xticklabels'."
