automatic calculation for graph spacing

Hi Everyone, I was hoping to get some guidance for this problem attached. here is my current code. I dont know how to specify what the spacings will be, and I am really stuck.

    low = 1;
  high = 1;
  diff = high - low
  function [ a b ] = computeGrid(v)
  a = start;
  b = final;

tics = (diff ./ M) +1
for 1:length(v)
numM >= 5 && numM <= 10
M = c * 10 .^ k;
if c = 1
    min(M) = a 
elseif c = 2
    max(M) = b
else c = 5
end
end
end
