XTicks and labels problem in 2014b?

Hi Community,

I am running Matlab 2014b and I want to define the XTick positions and labels on a 3D plot. Simple enough... in previous versions I would have used the set(gca... style but the new version uses a different syntax.

This is the example given in help for doing exactly that:

x = linspace(-10,10,200);
y = cos(x);
plot(x,y)
ax = gca;
ax.XTick = [-3*pi,-2*pi,-pi,0,pi,2*pi,3*pi];
ax.YTick = [-1,-0.5,0,0.5,1];
ax.XTickLabel = {'-3\pi','-2\pi','-\pi','0','\pi','2\pi','3\pi'};
ax.YTickLabel = {'min = -1','-0.5','0','0.5','max = 1'};

the problem is that I don't get what I expect. i.e. there is no change to the axis Tick labels:

There are no errors nor warnings reported when I execute this code. Have I missed something?

Cheers James

When I run that code from command line my tick labels change as they should do.

You can still use the get and set commands in R2014b.

Typically, restarting my machine fixed the issue...

Thanks for your responses :)

If you have Win 8 or 8.1, I found that after each update, I have to reboot at least twice in order for everything on my machine to work as it should. (Wait about 10 minutes between the first and second reboot.) I mention that because there were a lot of updates this week.

Good to know, thanks again.
