How do I change the number of ticks in matlab histogram and change axis numbers font size -

i want

• the x-axis display 1 2 3 4 5 6
• the y-axis display 0 20 40 60 80 100
• change numbers font size 14

i've tried setting different axis property (ref. commented lines of code in script below) none of them affect graph.

%code generate dicesum  dicesum = mydiceroller(1,500); figure(1)  %create histogram  hist(dicesum,ndice*6)  %label axes  xlabel('value of roll','fontsize',16)  ylabel('number of times rolled','fontsize',16)  %set(gca,'x','fontsize',14)  %set(gca,'yticklabel',{'0' ;'100'})  %set('xtick','fontsize',14)  %set('xlim',[0,6], 'ylim',[0 ,100])  %set('xtick',[0:1:6],'ytick',[0:20:100])  %set(gca,'xlim',[0 6])  %set(gca,'xtick',[0 1 2 3 4 5 6])  %set(gca,'xticklabel',str2mat{'0','1','2','3','4','5','6')  %xlim([0 6]) 

this separate function i'm using create data , histogram

function [dicesum] = mydiceroller(ndice,nrolls)  dicesum = zeros(1,nrolls);%  = 1:nrolls;% on roll 1...roll 2      j = 1:ndice;% on roll 1 , roll #s of die          n = ceil(rand(1)*6);          dicesum(1,i) = dicesum(1,i) + n;      end      hist(dicesum,ndice*6)      xlabel('value of roll')      ylabel('number of times rolled')  end 

to have x-axis displaying 1 2 3 4 5 6 have 2 possibilities:

• to change way call hist function follows:

  % hist(dicesum,1:ndice*6)

  hist(dicesum,1:6)

this because in call hist 2 parameters, second 1 should vector, in case, hist returns distribution of y among length(x) bins centers specified x (being x second parameter) - r2012b hist help

• to directly set x-axis xtick follows:

  set(gca,'xtick',[0:6])

to have y-axis displaying 0 20 40 60 80 100 have set y-axis ytick follows:

 set(gca,'ytick',[0:20:100]) 

to change x , y axis tick font size 14 have set axis fontsize follows:

set(gca,'fontsize',14) 

hope helps.
