Hello,
You can set the x-axis ticks using xticks function:
x = 0:0.1:5;
plot(x, sin(x));
xticks(0:0.83:5);
xlim([0 5]);
In a similar way you can set your y or z ticks. You can read more about it here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/xticks.html

The boundaries are limited by the extreme points of x which can be changed by xlim(). xticks() merely specifies a list of increasing values where the ticks should be marked, it could be out of the figure frame too! Consider the following example:
x = [4 2 6 0 -2];
plot(x, sin(x));
xticks([-4 8 10]);
You can hold and drag the graph to see those ticks.
I used xlim() because somehow 0 was being trimmed out from the graph at that moment, but now it's working fine :)
