How do I add these details to my plot?

Answer 1

The easiest thing to do is to manipulate XTicks and XTickLabels i.e. set XTicks from 1 to number of plots and XTickLabels to the labels you want.

Example:

%Sample data 
X = randn(30,4);
T = bplot(X,'points'); 
%Adjustments
set(gca,'XTick', 1:4, 'XTickLabel', {'Day Light', 'Stock Rate', 'foo', 'baz'});
