Ok, I was not clear about what I'm trying to do. Try this:

plot(rand(1,4),'o');

This will plot four points at x = 1,2,3,4. These points are marked '1',
'2', '3', and '4' on the x axis. Now, I'd like to replace these numbers by
custom strings, e.g. 'apple', 'potato', 'tomato', 'carrot'.

The xlabel command does something different. It adds a label to the x
axis. In the above example, it would make sense to use

xlabel('vegetables')

I hope this clears up my previous post. Any suggestions on how to
transform numbers to vegetables?

Cheers,
