Display Only Every Other Y Axis Label on Heatmap

Hi, I have a heatmap with a lot of values on the y axis and I would like to display it so that only every few labels on the y-axis show. Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks

There is currently no property of the "heatmap" object that allows users to directly change the labels. I work for MathWorks Technical Support and let the appropriate development team know about this limitation so that they will consider allowing more control of labels for future releases of MATLAB.

In the meantime, I suggest you do some preprocessing of the underlying data that you are plotting in the heatmap. For example, you can plot half as much data by skipping every other data point in the underlying table or arrays.

Hi,

Is there any update on the technical development for this one?

Thank you,

I have faced a similar issue. My solution is to use YDisplayLabels and manually pass it a string with every other label removed (i.e. "" for every other label).

Try using YDisplayLabels and manually pass it a string with every other label removed (i.e. "" for every other label).
