Hi Wayne,

Thank you!

I downloaded the m-file, but can't figue out how to use the function to REPLACE (not append) a tick label with a latex string...

According to the author, the input is:
format_tick(h,tickx,ticky,tickposx,tickposy,rotx,roty,offset,...varargin);

I use h=gca, and have a vector to specify 'tickposx' (the numerical valuse for the ticks) but don't know how to proceed.. (again, what i want is to use a list of labels which contains latex format, and that they are interpreted as latex syntax..)

Thank you,

Assaf
