How can I add string character description in the X axes instead of numbers? Is there a way to enhancer this code?

How can I add string character description in the X axes instead of numbers?

Please see code below:

clear all; %get rid of everything in memory

close all; %close all open figures

%X axis

Test_Cases = { 'A in A', 'B in B', 'C in C', 'D in D', 'E in E', 'F in F' };

%Y axis

MaxorMin='min' %'max' or 'min'

Something like this?

Thank you very much. What I forgot to mention is, how would you be able to have the X labels and Ylabels to be in Italics and Latex at a bigger font? I appreciate very much your help.

[Voss]

Here are some commands you can use/modify at will to set up the xticklabels and yticklabels:

% set up axes like in your code:
t = tiledlayout(1,5,'TileSpacing','none');
nexttile();
nexttile();
nexttile();
nexttile();
nexttile();
linkaxes(t.Children);
xlim([-1 7]);
set(t.Children(1:4),'YTickLabel',[]);

% another way to make Test_Cases, btw:
Test_Cases = arrayfun(@(x)sprintf('%s in %s',x,x),'A':'F','UniformOutput',false);

% adjust all the TickLabels:
% set(t.Children,'XTick',1:numel(Test_Cases),strcat({'Test: '},Test_Cases));
xax = get(t.Children,'XAxis');
set([xax{:}], ...
    'FontSize',12, ...
    'TickLabelInterpreter','latex', ...
    'TickValues',1:numel(Test_Cases), ...
    'TickLabel',strcat({'\emph{Test: '},Test_Cases,'}'), ... % \emph{} for italics in latex
    'TickLabelRotation',60);
set(get(t.Children(end),'YAxis'), ...
    'FontSize',12, ...
    'TickLabelInterpreter','latex');

This information is very valuable. Thank you very much.
