title: How to present date as a string on matlab figure
body: <p>I have imported date&amp;time data from a text file, in which it was stored as a string, to Matlab. I can convert string to numeric data and back, by using datenum and datestr commands.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is with creating figures. I can easily plot data against numeric date&amp;time values, but as it is stored as a number, it is not very useful. On the other hand, I found it impossible to plot data against strings. Is there a way that data would be plotted against numeric date&amp;time value, but presented in a friendly way as a string?</p>
  
  <p>Best regards,</p>
