Is there any way to adjust the tics on a graph? I know how to use the
axis command to change the overall scale limits, but I need to change
the number of tics. Let's say I have tics at 500 and the next tic is
1000. How can I add a 750 tic? There is some scaling going on behind the
scene and the values in the vector are not exactly 500 or 1000. So I'm
hoping there is some way to adjust the scaling some to show additional
tics. The existing plot has plenty of room to add additional tics at the
existing font and graph size.

Hope this is clear. I'm having a hard time describing this in words.

Thanks
Stan

Hi Stan,

you can do it like this:
tics('y',[500:250:1000]);

and (for example):
tics('x',[1,10,100],{"one","ten","hundred"});

regards
Mario
