change the step in x label

Hello, I have made histogram shown in the picture attached. As you can see, the X lable is ticked with the numbers: 95-125 with a space of 5 from each other. Is there any way(not manually) to make the spaces as 1 so that the plot will be shown automatically as : 95,96,97,...125 ? Thanks!

Use 'xtick' I'll do an example with Gaussian distributed data but I doubt you really want to space the ticks for every integer. I'll do one with a spacing of two.

    x = 110+5*randn(100,1);
    hist(x)
    set(gca,'xtick',95:2:125)

Just use the set() command after you call hist()

hi, My program do the following thing: It reads lines from a file in a loop. in the loop I use: counts =counts+ histc(lower(line), 'a':'z');

before the prog ends I use: figure(1); bar(97:122,counts);

How do I use set function in my script? thank u
