How can I plot discrete x-axis values?

How can I choose which x axis values are displayed? I am plotting a bar graph with x-axis values of [1,2,3,5,7,10] and I want there to be equal spacing between the bars.

If I use bar() and plot() there is a gap between bars because the x-values 4,6,8,9 are not in the data.

Try this

 x = [1,2,3,5,7,10]; %your bins
 y = rand(1,6); %your data
 numbins = size(x,2);
 x1 = [1:numbins];
 bar(x1,y)
 set(gca,'XTickLabel',x);
