Convert serial-date axis labels to calendar-date axis labels
Description
Examples
Replace Axis Tick Labels with Date Labels
This example shows how to use dateaxis to replaces axis tick labels with date labels on a graphic figure.
Convert the x-axis labels to an automatically determined date format.
dateaxis('y', 6)
Convert the y-axis labels to the month/day format.
dateaxis('x', 2, datetime(1999,3,3))
Convert the x-axis labels to the month/day/year format. The minimum x-tick value is treated as March 3, 1999.
dateaxis('x', 2, datetime(1999,3,3))
Input Arguments
Tickaxis
— Determines which axis tick labels, x
, y
, z
to replace
'x'
(default) | character vector with value 'x'
,
'y'
, or 'z'
(Optional) Determines which axis tick labels —x, y, or z— to replace, specified as a character vector.
Data Types: char
DateForm
— Defines which date format to use
date format based on the span of the axis limits (default) | integer from 0
to 17
(Optional) Defines which date format to use, specified as an integer from
0
to 17
.
If no DateForm
argument is entered, this function
determines the date format based on the span of the axis limits. For
example, if the difference between the axis minimum and maximum is less than
15, the tick labels are converted to three-letter day-of-the-week
abbreviations (DateForm = 8
).
| Format | Description |

Refer to the MATLAB®
set
command for
information on modifying the axis tick values and other axis parameters.
Data Types: double
StartDate
— Assigns the date to the first axis tick value
lower axis limit converted to the appropriate date
number (default) | date character vector | serial date number | datetime
(Optional) Assigns the date to the first axis tick value, specified as a serial date number, date character vector, or datetime. The tick values are treated as serial date numbers.
The default StartDate
is the lower axis limit converted
to the appropriate date number. For example, a tick value of
1
is converted to the date 01-Jan-0000. Entering
StartDate
as '06-apr-1999'
assigns
the date April 6, 1999 to the first tick value and the axis tick labels are
set accordingly.
