Make x-axis display multiple times the interval of 0 to 360 degrees

So, I am trying to make a figure, which displays a periodic signal, but instead of time, I want x-axis to display degrees.

The thing is that I cannot figure out a way for the x-axis to display multiple times the interval of 0 to 360 degrees. I only can create the following

mod(x_axis,360) obviously doesn't work

Any ideas?

EDIT

Just to be clear, I want to display something like that:

Why Don't You just Make X 0:1080 Degrees?

I don't understand what you are saying... x is from 0 to 1800 degrees, but I want for the x axis to display multiple times the interval from 0 to 360. Like the following (by photoshop - not to scale - obviously wrong phase)

Labels and ticks are independent. You could set all the labels, but this does not affect where the corresponding tick is placed, as you can observe in your 3rd plot. That is set by XTick, so make sure your labels match your ticks, or play it safe and set your ticks at the same time:

ax = gca;
ax.XTick = 0:180:1800;
ax.XTickLabel = {0, 180, 360, 180, 360, 180, 360, 180, 360};

You could just set a pattern that repeats. The problem here, of course, is that if you start with zero, the zero will repeat.

ax.XTick = ax.XLim(1):120:ax.XLim(2);
ax.XTickLabel = [ax.XLim(1), 120, 240];

Dear all,

I have a similar question. I have a concatenated series of measurements. Each period is 624 single measurements and I have 100 periods summing up to a total of 62400 measurements. They are arranged in a simple matrix (62400x2). The x-axis is periodic ranging from 0 to 2, they y axis contains the measurement. Actually the same measurement was repeated 100 time. I would like to plot the 100 measurements not on top of each other but sequentially along the axis....

Any suggestions?

Many thanks:

Martin

plot(simpleMatrix(:,2))
ax=gca;
ind = ax.XTick;
ax.XTickLabel = simpleMatrix(ind,1);

Dear Chris,

Unfortunately it did not work... Error message

'Index in position 1 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.'

My x-Values range from 0 to 1.9936 in intervalls of 0.0032; 624 values. Thereafter the x-Values repeat starting at 0 again (100 times in total).

Many thanks!

Martin

That's what I get for not testing the code first. It includes 0. You'll have to skip the first one. I don't include the X value in my plot command, so it will use index number to plot the Y values. There is no index of 0, so that point will be empty. I then capture the index values displaying on the plot, and use them to replace the tick labels with the corresponding x values.

data(:,1)=repmat((1:10)',5,1);
data(:,2)=rand([50 1]);
plot(data(:,2))

ax=gca;
ind = ax.XTick(2:end);
ax.XTickLabel=[0; data(ind,1)];
