I have been using the __gnuplot_set__ xtics  command

The new version of Octave 3.0.0.0 does not support
this method.  Does anyone know how to do this?

here is a sample program that I have used for many
years to teach xtic setting:

xmin=0.0;
xmax=2*pi;
ymin=-1;
ymax=1;

deltax=(xmax-xmin)/200;

axis([xmin   xmax  ymin ymax]);
x=xmin:deltax:xmax;
y=sin(x);
plot(x,y)
__gnuplot_set__ xtics ( "Pi/4" pi/4, "Pi/2" pi/2, "Pi"
pi, "3*Pi/2"
1.5*pi, "2*Pi" 2*pi )
plot(x,y)


I already tried the suggestion on my PC Windows Vista
with Octave 3.0.0 installation, and the

set (gca, "xtick", [pi:pi/2:2*pi]);

command does not change the default tickmarks.

I am a teacher at a small college, and it would really
help my students label their graphs and check handwork
if I could get the NON-uniform tick setting working
again.

Any suggestions welcome.

ps.  My question does not appear on the octave help
page... how can I post this question there for
everyone to see?

thanks!

I'm running 3.0.0+

This works for me in Octave and Matlab

x = linspace (0, 2*pi, 201);
y = sin (x);
xtick = 0:0.5:2.0;
xticklabel = num2str (xtick');
plot (x, y)
axis ([min(x) max(x) -1 1])
set (gca, 'xtick', xtick*pi, 'xticklabel', strcat (xticklabel, char (ones (size (xtick'))*'pi')))

The problem was that you specified where the tick marks were to be placed, but did not specify the corresponding strings.
