How to display X-tick labels vertically using GPLOT?

Hi, here is the code I'm using:

gplot(adj,NC,'-o')
axis([0 W1 0 H1])
xlabel('Width')
ylabel('Height')
title('MESH GRID (in global coordinates)')
set(gca,'XTick',0:w:W1)
set(gca,'YTick',0:h:H1)

'adj' is the adjacency matrix and 'NC' is the matrix of nodes' coordinates. The thing is when the amount of nodes is quite large, tick labels on the x-axis nearly collide and so I want them to be displayed vertically. I know how to use 'XTicksLabelStyle = Vertical' within the 'plot' function, but 'gplot' does not seem to be supporting that parameter. So how should I do that using 'gplot'?

anyone?? I'm sure there's got to be a way

Not sure if this solution fit your data - but if you know how to set the 'XTicksLabelStyle' within the plot function, why not do

[x, y]= gplot(adj,NC,'-o');
plot(x, y)

and set the ticks.

good idea, but it did not work. it turns out 'XTicksLabelStyle' is not available in R2011 version of matlab...will probably leave it as it is

I see.. I honestly didn't know what you where talking about with the 'XTicksLabelStyle' :-). But if that's the case, I can aid you further by recommending the following File Exchange submission.

Good luck!

thanks, that script works, but I just realized it's too huge for such a tiny operation..
