How to change the tick frequency on a timeseries x axis
Show older comments
Hello can u please let me know how can I change the xticks on a time series. The ticks are displayed every 3 months, while I need one month ticks. The time series dates are real data and can not evenly distribute them. Thank you for your reply. Best, Nick

If the X axis is in serial date number, then a month is approximately 30 days, so at first pass you could use
set(gca, 'XTick', (first_datenum : 30 : last_datenum) );
There are more exact methods, of course.
