2 XTick are existing on one plot!

I'm trying to change the x ticks on a plotyy(x,y1,x,y2). This is what I'm doing:

set(gca,'XTick',[0:4:64])

However, the plotyy wants to use something more like [0:10:70], so I am getting my 0:4:64 ticks, but they are just being overlaid over the default ticks. Basically it's just really hard to read and the default ticks do not work for my application.

plotyy creates two axes objects. So do not use gca but the handles replied by AX = plotyy().

I would like to comment here just to say that I thought that I could only edit the y-axes by using AX(1) and AX(2) handles. However, by using

set(AX,'XTick',[0:4:64])

I was able to set both AX axes handles to make the x-axis ticks change correctly.

Thanks!
