explain yticklabel in matlab

In MATLAB, the yticklabel is a property of the axis object that can be used to set or retrieve the tick labels of the y-axis of a plot. The yticklabel property is set to 'auto' by default and MATLAB automatically generates tick labels based on the data values.

To specify custom tick labels for the y-axis, you can set the ytick and yticklabel properties of the y-axis. The ytick property specifies the location of the tick marks, and the yticklabel property specifies the labels to use at those locations.

Here is an example of how to set the yticklabel property for a plot:

main.m
% create a plot
x = 1:10;
y = x.^2;
plot(x,y)

% set custom tick labels for the y-axis
yticks = [0 25 50 75 100];
yticklabels = {'zero', 'small', 'medium', 'large', 'huge'};
set(gca, 'ytick', yticks, 'yticklabel', yticklabels)

% add labels and title
xlabel('x')
ylabel('y')
title('Plot of y = x^2 with Custom Y-Axis Tick Labels')
331 chars
15 lines

This will create a plot with custom tick labels for the y-axis, and the tick marks will be located at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100.
