Running an error when attempting to set gca YTick marks.

I have the following code:

 set(gca,'YTick',energy_pixel);

However, I'm running an error that says:

 Error using matlab.graphics.axis.Axes/set
 Value must be a vector of type single or double whose values increase

But my energy_pixel variable is of type double and is either remaining the same or increasing:

 energy_pixel = [0, 0, 0, 0, 71, 188, 595, 996]

Is there anyway to allow these numbers to be added to YTick? I can't change the values and I was wondering if there was a way I can work around the error itself.

We need more information about the values you’re plotting.

Experiment with this:

yt = get(gca, 'YTick');
energy_pixel = compose('%d', [0, 0, 0, 0, 71, 188, 352, 595, 996]);
set(gca, 'YTick',yt, 'YTickLabel',energy_pixel);

The compose function requires R2016b or later.

This worked enough for me to execute the program for now. I'll ask what my boss actually wants to plot considering this was his code. Thanks for the help :)

As always, my pleasure!
