how to rotate X Tick Label ?

I am using matlab R2009a and matlab R2012a

I want to rotate x tick label 45 degree, I use this code:

 figure('color','w')
bar(cell2mat(a(:,2)));
set(gca,'XTick',1:size(a,1))
set(gca,'XTickLabel',a(:,1))
set(gca,'XTickLabelRotation',45)
set(gca,'YTick',0:max(cell2mat(a(:,2))))
axis tight

but it gives me an error

Error using ==> set

There is no 'XTickLabelRotation' property in the 'axes' class.

Error in ==> CountWordFreq02 at 51

set(gca,'XTickLabelRotation',45)

HOW I CAN SOLVE THIS ?

The 'XTickLabelRotation' property was introduced in R2014b. You would have to use a text object in place of your x-tick labels. It allows text rotation.

The xticklabelrotation property is not supported by versions before Matlab R2014b. However you can find some application in File Exchange
