How to display only selected xticks?

HI!

I am trying to display onli thee selected xticks om a stairs plot. I use the following code:

figure
stairs(fl,db(sqrt(sTO)))
irs(cfm(6:end),db(sqrt(p(6:end))))
xticks(ff)
xticklabels(cfs);
xtickangle(45)
set(gca,"XScale","log")

Even though I set xticks, the default ticks appear too.

I also tried puting

set(gca,'xtick',[])

before seting the x ticks. It didn't work. How can I display the wanted xticks without the default tickes?

The xticks function should be all you need.

X = linspace(0,4*pi,40);
Y = sin(X);

figure
stairs(Y)

xticks([7 12 18 33])

Yes it would work, but I want to use logarithmic X scale, and when I set X scale to logarithmic, the default ticks appear. How can I get rid of those?

[Cris LaPierre]

Those are minor ticks. They have a different setting. Try this.

X = linspace(0,4*pi,40);
Y = sin(X);

figure
stairs(Y)

xticks([7 12 18 33])
set(gca,"XScale","log")
set(gca,"XMinorTick","off")

This works! Thank you!
