How can I build custom xticklabels using numbers and strings?

Question

I am trying to customize the Xticklabels of my bar graph to have a format of 'number (units)'

So far I have a vector:

scanrate = [2;4;6;8;10];

I want my bar graph to have an x axis of:

2mv/s 4mv/s 6mv/s 8mv/s 10mv/s

If I use xticklabels(num2str(scanrate)) the xticklabels change to the numbers in the scanrate vector. I want to put mv/s after each Xtick.

Answer 1

You can also use strcat :

xticklabels(strcat(num2str(scanrate),' mv/s'))

Please note that it works only when scanrate is a column vector.

Fun fact :

num2str(scanrate) + " mv/s"

also works, but

num2str(scanrate) + ' mv/s'

does not
