I have checked an old MATLAB manual and found the following example. It does
not work for me but here it is:
% Set x-ticks mark separately, then label them
1. Commands
octave-2.9.17:3> axis ([-4 53 675 765]); %never mind y-limits here
octave-2.9.17:4> set (aH, 'xtick', 0:6:48);
octave-2.9.17:4> set (aH, 'xticklabel', [' 0';' ';'12';' ';'24';'
';'36';' ';'48']);
2. Commands with errors
octave-2.9.17:4> set (aH, 'Xtick', 0:6:48);
error: `aH' undefined near line 4 column 6
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
octave-2.9.17:4> set (aH, 'xticklabel', [' 0';' ';'12';' ';'24';'
';'36';' ';'48']);
error: `aH' undefined near line 4 column 6
error: evaluating
argument list element number 1

OK, finally I got it. Henry
octave-2.9.17:1> axis ([-4 53 675 765]);
octave-2.9.17:2> aH= gca;
octave-2.9.17:3> set (aH, 'xtick', 0:6:48);
octave-2.9.17:4> set (aH, 'xticklabel', [' 0';' ';'12';' ';'24';'
';'36';' ';'48']);
