How to change x-axis ticks labels in stackedplot?
h = stackedplot(rand(6,3)); I want to set x-axis ticks according to my own defined set i.e., instead of 1:6, I want to replace x-axisticks [1, 2,3 ,4,5,6] to ['A', 'S','T', 'AAA', 'BBB', 'ZZZ'] , by rotating it to 90 degree that is vertically insted of horizontally?

There does not seem to be an easy way to set the XTick or XTickLabel of a StackedLineChart object (such as what's created by stackedplot):
data = rand(6,3); h = stackedplot(1:6,data);
% try a couple of things, neither of which work try set(h,'XTick',1:6,'XTickLabel',{'A' 'S' 'T' 'AAA' 'BBB' 'ZZZ'}) catch ME disp(['Cannot use set(_,''XTick''): ' ME.message]); try xticks(h,1:6) catch ME disp(['Cannot use xticks(_): ' ME.message]); end end
Cannot use set(_,'XTick'): Unrecognized property XTick for class StackedLineChart. Cannot use xticks(_): Using xticks with stackedplot is not supported.
However, you can do it if you use tiledlayout (or subplot):
figure(); tiledlayout(3,1,'TileSpacing','tight'); for i = [1 2 3] ax = nexttile; plot(data(:,i)); box off if i < 3 set(get(ax,'XAxis'),'Visible','off'); end ylabel(ax,sprintf('Column %d',i), ... 'Rotation',0, ... 'HorizontalAlignment','right'); end % now ax is the bottom axes set(ax, ... 'XTick',1:6, ... 'XTickLabel',{'A','S','T','AAA','BBB','ZZZ'}, ... 'XTickLabelRotation',90);
