I want to replace the hyphens with en dashes in a plot axes.

Dear all

I need help with replacing the hyphens in the y-axis with en dashes in a plot. In other words, I want to increase the length of the negative sing in the plot axis.

Thanks

Aziz

i suggest you have a look into the yticklabels() and xticklabels() and do some replacement of '-' with the en dash char(0x2013).

plot(-10:10);
yticklabels()
yticklabels(replace(yticklabels(),'-',char(0x2013)));
yticklabels()

It works great thanks

my pleasure. note that the effect vanishes if the ticks are changed or refreshed. This can also happen e.g. when you resize the figure
