Help plotting specific points

I'm trying to make the x-axis have the points be: 6.0,6.2,6.4,6.6,6.8,7.0,7.2,7.4

and have the y-axis have the points: 0.010,0.011,0.012,0.013,0.014,0.015,0.016,0.017

But I want the specific values of: 0.0126,0.0123,0.0122,0.01186,0.0116,0.0115,0.0114,0.0111 to show up marked on the graph. How would I do this?

I want it to look similar to the graph below.

[Walter Roberson]

x = [6.1, 6.085, 6.16, 6.22, 6.515, 6.605, 6.685, 6.75];
y = [0.0126,0.0123,0.0122,0.01186,0.0116,0.0115,0.0114,0.0111];
pointsize = 20;
scatter(x, y, pointsize, 'ro', 'filled', 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'k')
xticks([6.0,6.2,6.4,6.6,6.8,7.0,7.2,7.4])
yticks([0.010,0.011,0.012,0.013,0.014,0.015,0.016,0.017])
xlim([6.0, 7.4]);
ylim([0.01, 0.018])

[Cris LaPierre]

plot the data as you normally would (see Ch 9 of MATLAB Onramp if you need help with that). I'd recommend scatter. Then to modify the appearance, use the following functions:

• axis - set x- and y- limits (or xlim and ylim)
• xticks, yticks - set tick locations
• xticklabels, yticklabels - set tick labels (if different than location value)
