Visualy change values of legend

Hello,

x = [1:288]; 
y =  rand(288,1);
plot(x,y);
xlabel('time in 5 min')
ylabel('random numbers')
title('24/5 over a day')

As seen I got 288 Values on x and on the x legend it also goes from 0 -300.

I want the x axis to only show me visualy the values from 0-24 without changing any values on the y axis.

Every 12 elements on x it should show me a +1.

Like switching the "Values"

Current What I want

12 1

24 2

36 3

48 4

60 5

72 6

... ...

288 24

Not sure what you want, but try legend or ylim

Possibly —

x = [1:288]; 
y =  rand(288,1);
plot(x,y);
xlabel('time in 5 min')
ylabel('random numbers')
title('24/5 over a day')
xlim([min(x) max(x)])
Ax = gca;
xt = Ax.XTick;
Ax.XTickLabel = fix(xt*(5/60));                             % Scale By 5 min Intervals / 60 minutes

To get the x-axis ticks to display 12-hour increments as requested, change the XTick increment and the XTickLabel assignment:

x = [1:288*7];                                                  % Increase To 7 Days
y =  rand(288*7,1);
plot(x,y);
xlabel('time in 5 min')
ylabel('random numbers')
title('24/5 over a day')
xlim([min(x) max(x)])
hour12 = 60*12/5;                                               % 12-Hour Increment
Ax = gca;
Ax.XTick = x(1:hour12:end);                                     % X-Tick Values
Ax.XTickLabel = floor(Ax.XTick * 5/(60*12));                    % X-Tick Labels

% XTickVals = buffer(Ax.XTick * 5/(60*12),7)                      % Information

I wanted to show every hour sorry for the misunderstandung 12*5min=1hour

Sorry I confused myself...

So I would need the 12. value of the x axis to be 1.

The 24 to be 2 and so on....

Maybe just divide by 5 before plotting

x = [1:288]; 
y =  rand(288,1);
plot(x/5,y);
xlabel('time in 5 min')
ylabel('random numbers')
title('24/5 over a day')

x = [1:288]; 
y =  rand(288,1);
plot(x,y);
xlabel('time in 5 min')
ylabel('random numbers')
title('24/5 over a day')
tickLocations = 12:12:288;
xticks(tickLocations)
xticklabels(string(tickLocations/12))

Once you've changed the tick labels your X label is at best misleading, so I'd change that to 'time (hours)' or something similar.
