hide a single XTickLabel entry
显示 更早的评论
Does anyone have a suggestion for hiding a single entry or creating a blank entry for a string used for XTickLabel?
Let's say I have 5 items plotted with random labels [labels = (2, 4, 5, 16, 29);] but I don't want to have the last item (5) plot on the edge of the plot space. I set the X axis to 0:6 to allow for some white space at both ends of the plot. Then using set(gca, 'XTickLabel',labels), I can label the items as listed. However, because the X axis is now 6 instead of 5, the number 2 shows up (it repeats the string) where there is no data. I tried adding a blank or a NaN to the end of [labels] but neither work as the blank shortens the vector back to 5 and NaN is interpreted as a label. Should I be converting labels to a string of characters and if so, can I add a blank one at the end?
Thanks.
snippet of code:
labels = [2, 4, 5, 16, 29];
y = [12 24 5 35 7];
plot(y)
axis([0 length(y)+1 0 40])
set(gca, 'XTick',1:1:length(y)+1,'XTickLabel',labels)

Convert labels to a cell string, and put an empty value in the last space:
labels = {2, 4, 5, 16, 29, []};
When I ran your code with this labels array, the trailing ‘2’ didn’t plot, as I believe you want.

My pleasure!
I suggested that one because it will work if you want to skip over any entry in a label list.

Sounds like Doug should officially "Accept" this answer to give Star credit.

I have the same question just that the XLable entry to be hidden changes everytime.
How to make the element in matrix disappear?
If I try '[ ]' it deletes the row completely, i don't to delete it, i just want to replace it with blank element
Thanks
