could anyone tell me how to have equal spacing of selected numbers with respect to axis.

could anyone tell me how to have equal spacing of selected numbers with respect to axis with respect to the command line

set(gca, 'XTick', [0, 1, 2, 23,24]);

I want to have equal spacing between 0,1,2,23 and 24 with respect to x axis.

[Walter Roberson]

The data you are plotting, are the x values for it only 0, 1, 2, 23 and 24, and nothing else?

Is it necessary that the data cursor should show the 24 when it is over information in that range, or is it okay if the data cursor can be wrong?

... And you are still using R2015b, right?

[Prabha Kumaresan]

s i am using R2015b. data cursor should show only 0,1,2,23,24 numbers in the x axis with equal spacing.

I want to have the graph by using the code

%before plotting
 XData(XData>2&XData<23)=(XData(XData>2&XData<23)-2)/(23-2)+2;
 XData(XData>=23)=XData(XData>=23)-(23-2)+1;
 %plotting code
 plot(XData,YData)
 %renaming of ticks
 set(gca, 'XTick', [0, 1, 2, 3,4]);
 set(gca,'XTickLabel',num2str([0;1;2;23;24]))

If i use the code the number 0,23 and 24 are not getting displayed.

tx = XData;
mask = tx > 2.5;
tx(mask) = tx(mask) - 20;
plot(tx, YData);
xlim([0 4]);
set(gca, 'XTick', [0, 1, 2, 3,4]);
set(gca,'XTickLabel',num2str([0;1;2;23;24]))

dcm = datacursormode(gcf, 'DisplayStyle', 'datatip', 'UpdateFcn', @myupdatefcn, 'SnapToDataVertex', 'on');

with

function txt = myupdatefcn(src, event)
  loc = event.Position;
  x = loc(1);
  y = loc(2);
  if x > 2.5; x = x + 20; end
  txt = {sprintf('x: %g', x), sprintf('y: %g', y)};

The assignment to dcm and the function are not needed if you do not care about what data cursor mode (tooltips) shows.

[Prabha Kumaresan]

still exist unequal spacing between numbers.I want to have the spacing as per in the graph attached.

Make it easy for us to see by using the green and brown frame icon to insert a picture/screenshot. Or else attach a PNG image instead of a .fig file, which takes multiple additional steps to see.

[Prabha Kumaresan]

ok.I have attached the png format.

You can compress data between 2 and 23 ticks roughly by

 %before plotting
 XData(XData>2&XData<23)=(XData(XData>2&XData<23)-2)/(23-2)+2;
 XData(XData>=23)=XData(XData>=23)-(23-2)+1;
 %plotting code
 plot(XData,YData)
 %renaming of ticks
 set(gca, 'XTick', [0, 1, 2, 3,4]);
 set(gca,'XTickLabel',num2str([0;1;2;23;24]))

[Prabha Kumaresan]

when i run the code i am unable to get 0,23 and 24 number in the xaxis.

[Prabha Kumaresan]

this was the graph i am getting number 23 has throughput value but it is not getting displayed.And I couldnt get the numbers 0 and 24.could you please help me onthis.

[Walter Roberson]

It is difficult to be of assistance without answers to my questions, above.

[Sergey Kasyanov]

I don't have the same problem.

Maybe last line in the code should be replaced by:

 set(gca,'XTickLabel',{'0','1','2','23','24'})

Inform me if this is right way, please.

[Sergey Kasyanov]

I advise you to check the answer below. It is accepted solution for this problem.

[Prabha Kumaresan]

I am using the following code

   XData(XData>2&XData<23)=(XData(XData>2&XData<23)-2)/(23-2)+2;
   XData(XData>=23)=XData(XData>=23)-(23-2)+1;
   plot(XData,YData)
   set(gca, 'XTick', [0, 1, 2, 3,4]);
   set(gca,'XTickLabel',{'0','1','2','23','24'})

The graph which i got is also attached.

But i am unable to get the numbers 0,23 and 24 displayed in the xaxis.

[Sergey Kasyanov]

I download your graph.fig which contains also three points: 1, 2 ,3. You should try to plot graph with larger amount of points.

[Sergey Kasyanov]

Also you can use command

 xlim([0,24])

to strech axis.

[Prabha Kumaresan]

i am using the code

XData(XData>2&XData<23)=(XData(XData>2&XData<23)-2)/(23-2)+2;
XData(XData>=23)=XData(XData>=23)-(23-2)+1;
plot(XData,YData)
xlim([0,24])
set(gca, 'XTick', [0, 1, 2, 3,4]);
set(gca,'XTickLabel',{'0','1','2','23','24'})

and the graph which i am getting is also attached.

It is seen from the graph all the points 0,1,2,23,24 are present at one side of the graph.The rest of the places are left blank.But I want to have even spreading of the numbers with equal spacing.

Try this to find File Exchange submissions that allow a "break" in the axes: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=broken+axis
