binning the x-axis of a plot

I need to create bins for the x-axis of my plot. The axis goes from 0 to 20, and I need to make bins corresponding to every .10 of a value; i.e. 5.0 to 5.10. How would I go about doing this?

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

xbins = 0 : 0.10 : 20;

how would I include this bin within my plot?

Trying to bin the plot that uses the variables: r = 1027; txx2 = 1027; xbins = 201;

plot(r,txx2,xbins)

error because xbins is not a consistent size with r and txx2

[Walter Roberson]

Include it in what sense? Do you want each point labeled with its bin number? Do you want a second x axis that is labeled with bin numbers?

[jgillis16]

I want the x-axis to be binned. So instead of going from 0 to 20, it should go from 0, 0.10, 0.20, etc. Would that be possible? The only thing that's worrying is the matrix sizes are not consistent.

Or, a second axis could work too

[Walter Roberson]

xbins = 0 : 0.10 : 20;
plot(r,txx2);
set(gca, 'xtick', xbins)

But what I suspect you want is something closer to

bar(r, txx2)
