How can I show axis ticks as fractions?

Hello,

I want my Y-axis ticks to show fractional values, instead of decimal values. Ideally, I want in the range of 1/150 (lowest) to 1/50 (highest) in whole numbers. Something like [1/150, 1/125, 1/100, 1/75, 1/50] on the y axis. How can I do this?

Thanks

yticklabels("1/" + (150 : -25 : 50))
% or
yticklabels(compose("1/%d", (150 : -25 : 50))
% or
set(gca, 'YTickLabel', sprintfc('1/%d', (150 : -25 : 50))) % for older versions, sprintfc() undocumented

Thanks for your answer. When I do what you said, it looks like this:

In the original plot, the 0.02 corresponded to 1/50 and 0.006 or 0.0067 corresponds to 1/150.

So I think the scale needs to be changed, for me to have the correct fractions on the y axis.

Can you help?

Look at yticks()

Thanks, this worked:

yticks( [1/150, 1/125, 1/100, 1/75, 1/50])

yticklabels("1/" + (150 : -25 : 50))
