how to multiply displayed xvalues on plot by constant

How can I change the the display, that is the way the x values look on the plot (not the x-values themselves in the code - just the way they look) to multiply them by a constant. Kind of like scaling.

Here is one approach:

% create plot  
x=-10:2:10 
y = x.^2 
plot(x,y,'bo-') 

% modify labels for tick marks
xticks = get(gca,'xtick') 
scaling  = pi 
newlabels = arrayfun(@(x) sprintf('%.1f', scaling * x), xticks, 'un', 0)
set(gca,'xticklabel',newlabels)

Thanks a lot Jos (10584). It worked for me!

This code shows some errors in the last line with delimiters.
