The easiest way is to add the offset to your x data when you plot. For example, instead of

plot(x,y)

use

plot(x+98, y)

but if that is not practical, the next best way is something like:

for h = findobj(gca, '-property, 'XData')
  set(h, 'Xdata', 98 + get(h, 'Xdata'));
end

There are also ways that involve leaving the data lone and instead changing the label on the x axis so it looks like it is going 100:298. This method can be effective in stubborn circumstances, but it Does Not Play Well with zooming or datacursor.
