Dear all
I need help with replacing the hyphens in the y-axis with en dashes in a plot. In other words, I want to increase the length of the negative sing in the plot axis.
Thanks
Aziz

i suggest you have a look into the yticklabels() and xticklabels() and do some replacement of '-' with the en dash char(0x2013).
plot(-10:10);
yticklabels()
yticklabels(replace(yticklabels(),'-',char(0x2013)));
yticklabels()

my pleasure. note that the effect vanishes if the ticks are changed or refreshed. This can also happen e.g. when you resize the figure
