Hi, so I got a plot that has in the Xlabel the datanum of all the month and in the Ylabel the distance in each time. My plot is the following way:

How can I write in the Xlabel just the days from 1-21 and to it more width so I can read easely the graph??(change the plot size(now is a square)).

Please attach your x and y data and tell us what the x data represents.

Hello,

I understand you want to customize the values on x-axis and increase the width of the generated plot.

You can use ‘xticks’ function which sets the x-axis tick values, ticks are the locations along the x-axis.

% sample data
x = 1:30; 
y = sin(x); 
plot(x, y); 
% using 'xticks' and 'xlabels'
xticks(1:21) 
xticklabels(1:21) 

Please refer to the below sample code to change the width of the plot.

currentFigure = gcf;

newPosition = [100, 100, 2000, 600]; % [left, bottom, width, height]

set(currentFigure, 'Position', newPosition);
