Removing white space inside MATLAB plot

I attach my plot and code part for the problem

My code:

% counts: is a 25*25 double array generated in my code
figure(1)
surf(counts,'EdgeColor','none','LineStyle','none');
view(-270,-90);
xtick = [0,2.5,7.5,12.5,17.5,22.5,25];
ytick = [0,2.5,7.5,12.5,17.5,22.5,25];
xticklabels = {'-125','-100','-50' '0','50','100', '125'};
yticklabels = {'-125','-100','-50' '0','50','100', '125'};

set(gca, 'XTick', xtick);
set(gca, 'XTickLabel', xticklabels,'fontsize',12,'fontweight','bold');
set(gca, 'YTick', ytick);
set(gca, 'YTickLabel', yticklabels);
colorbar;

Any help shall be appreciated.

Answer 1

Yet another option is to use this:

axis tight

This tells the rulers on the axes that they shouldn't round out to "nice" numbers.

That worked perfect.....Thanks a trillion Sir Mike Garrity for your magnanimity

Answer 2

Why are you using surf when you aren't even taking advantage of the 3-D-ish perspective it makes? Why not use image() or imshow() instead?

[Utsav]

imshow() or image() do not show up with view(el,az) and a gray plot area comes.

[Mike Garrity]

What version of MATLAB are you using?

That sounds like an issue that was fixed in R2014b. If you're using that version (or later), I'd like some more details.

Version 2012a I am using Sir
