x axis label issue...

Hello All,

Well I'm not sure how to change the x label at specific points. The code below generates a similar structure to what I'm using, I need the labels to be placed under each line on the x axis. So the variable, "xlabelIWant" shows the position of the line on the x axis and then I would like to label them with numbers increasing from one. So the first line that goes up from the x axis is labeled as 1, the second line going up is labeled as 2 and so on. I know how to rename the x axis label, but not how to rename it at specific points. I'm sure it is some propriety, but I may not know of it. Any help anyone offers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Here is the code below...

k = 0;
amt = 10;
for n = 1:amt
    y=1:100;
    sigma=round(rand*5+10); 
    mu=round(rand*10+40); 
    A=round(rand*4+2);
    x=A*exp(-(y-mu).^2/(2*sigma^2))+rand(size(y))*0.3;    
    k(n,:) = max(x);
    t(n,:) = x;
end

m = repmat(cumsum([0 k(1:end-1)'])',1,size(t,2));
t = t+m;
%all of above it to generate fake data..

plot(t,1:length(t),'b')
xlabelIWant = [t(:,1) (1:amt)'];
set(gca,'XTickLabel',{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10})
%where 1 is found at t(1,1) and 2 is found at t(2,1) and so on

Thanks again!

figure
plot([1 2 3 4],[5 6 7 12])
set(gca,'XTick',[1 2 3]); % Set positions
set(gca,'XTickLabel',{'what','you','want?'}) % Set labels

XTick, Yet that did it! Thanks!
