how to change axis to text format

How can I change x axis to months format

ex: Jan instead of 1, and Feb instead of 2

[Paresh yeole]

Use xticklabels

xticks(1:12)
xticklabels({'Jan','Feb','Mar',...)

I tried to apply it in my code but it does not work:

months=1:12

A=[118.00575,141.14832,215.06911,244.017855,259.748722,...

316.264968,312.004731,284.158783,233.389667,173.581341,120.328931,83.5528434];

B=[125.005376,153.263393,208.340054,265.275,311.823925,354.2625,350.813172,...

315.857527,276.381944,216.389785,159.719444,118.275538];

C=[150.623337096774,188.411076934524,251.094712768817,286.411819027778,314.503991397849,...

344.678580972222,334.548557930107,312.403280510752,267.2707425,215.908282392473,170.403158611111,145.476231989247];

plot(months,A)

hold on

plot(months,B)

plot(months,C)

The vectors A,B,C are not of same length.

Size of vector B is 1*13.

Also, vector C is not defined correctly.

[Ibrahim AlZoubi]

A,B, and C are the same length which is 1*12

[Ibrahim AlZoubi]

A=[118.00575,141.14832,215.06911,244.017855,259.748722,316.264968,312.004731,284.158783,233.389667,173.581341,120.328931,83.5528434];

B=[125.005376,153.263393,208.340054,265.275,311.823925,354.2625,350.813172,315.857527,276.381944,216.389785,159.719444,118.275538];

C=[150.623337096774,188.411076934524,251.094712768817,286.411819027778,314.503991397849,344.678580972222,334.548557930107,312.403280510752,267.2707425,215.908282392473,170.403158611111,145.476231989247];

[Ibrahim AlZoubi]

basically i's B=[1256,1533,208,265,311,354,350,315,276,216,159,118]; i've removed the Decimal numbers

[Paresh yeole]

It works:

plot(months,A)

hold on

plot(months,B)

plot(months,C)

xticks(1:12)

xticklabels({'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'})

[Ibrahim AlZoubi]

months=1:12

A=[118.00575,141.14832,215.06911,244.017855,259.748722,316.264968,312.004731,284.158783,233.389667,173.581341,120.328931,83.5528434];
 
B=[125.005376,153.263393,208.340054,265.275,311.823925,354.2625,350.813172,315.857527,276.381944,216.389785,159.719444,118.275538];
 
C=[150.623337096774,188.411076934524,251.094712768817,286.411819027778,314.503991397849,344.678580972222,334.548557930107,312.403280510752,267.2707425,215.908282392473,170.403158611111,145.476231989247];

plot(months,A)
hold on 
plot(months,B)
plot(months,C)
xticks(1:12)
xticklabels({'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'})



% the result is:
Undefined function 'xticks' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Use xticklables for eg:

x = linspace(0,12);
y = x.^2;
plot(x,y)
xticks([0:1:12])
xticklabels({'','Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'})

plot(months,A)

hold on

plot(months,B)

plot(months,C)

[Ajay Kumar]

xticks(1:12)
xticklabels({'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'})

Add these 2 lines in the end

[Ibrahim AlZoubi]

Undefined function 'xticks' for input arguments of type 'double'. this is the result

[Ajay Kumar]

Which line is the error? I tried it I got the output.
