Hello. I have an array that starts from 2015 to the end of 2020 every 10 minutes. This is my x-axis. When I plot this the x-axis only shows years, but I would like to show every years and months. I attached the m_file. If you guys know how to do this or tell me some tips for controlling the x-axis, I would be really thankful.

basedate = datetime(2015,1,1,0,0,0, 'Format', 'yy/MM');
enddate = datetime(2020,12,31,23,59,59, 'Format', 'yy/MM');
wanted_ticks = basedate + calmonths(0:(2020-2015+1)*12)
wanted_ticks = 1×73 datetime array
15/01 15/02 15/03 15/04 15/05 15/06 15/07 15/08 15/09 15/10 15/11 15/12 16/01 16/02 16/03 16/04 16/05 16/06 16/07 16/08 16/09 16/10 16/11 16/12 17/01 17/02 17/03 17/04 17/05 17/06 17/07 17/08 17/09 17/10 17/11 17/12 18/01 18/02 18/03 18/04 18/05 18/06 18/07 18/08 18/09 18/10 18/11 18/12 19/01 19/02 19/03 19/04 19/05 19/06 19/07 19/08 19/09 19/10 19/11 19/12 20/01 20/02 20/03 20/04 20/05 20/06 20/07 20/08 20/09 20/10 20/11 20/12 21/01
sample_dates = linspace(basedate, enddate, 30);
plot(sample_dates, rand(size(sample_dates)))
xticks(wanted_ticks)
