Hi,

For your first request you could try:
plot (1:.01:1.2)
yticks = get (gca, "ytick");
ylabels = arrayfun (@(x) sprintf ("%.2f", x), yticks, "uniformoutput",
false);
set (gca, "yticklabel", ylabels)

Now changing the color of labels without changing the corresponding axes
color is not possible to my knowledge. The tex interpreter doesn't work for
labels in Octave 4.0 but will in 4.2. You will then be able to use tex
markup:

...
ylabels = arrayfun (@(x) sprintf ("\\color{red}{%.2f}", x), yticks,
"uniformoutput", false);
set (gca, "yticklabel", ylabels)
