Setting axis graduation and name
--------------------------------

When drawing a graph, to set your axis graduation, draw your graph and
run::

    set (gca, 'XTick', [-2:2])

replacing `[-2:2]` by the values you want on your X-axis.

To set your axis name, run::

    xlabel ('x')

replacing `'x'` with your X-axis name.
