A simple question regarding axes label

I am plotting a time series 12 months*10 years=120 values and my default x axis label is from 1 to 120 but I want change the label of first month of each year: 1 to 2000, 13 to 2001, 25 to 2002 and so on. I know it has to do with Ticks, but I dont know how to write the code Thanks

You can first set up the xticks to match exactly the beginning of the years and then set the xticklabel property to match the years

x = randn(120,1);
plot(x)
set(gca,'xtick',1:13:120);
set(gca,'xticklabel',2000:2009);
