Show the xticks in the view of 2D

Hi, I use surf to plot a 3D surface, see below

And I want to see it in 2D view, so I use view(2), and I get the figure below.

But for this 2D contour, xticks disappear (only 5, 10, ... show but no tick marks).

I guess it is due to some settings in 3D surface. Could anyone help me to solve this problem to make it like a general 2D figure? Thanks!

The default tick direction is 'in', so the x-ticks are not visible in the second plot.

Set TickDir to 'out' or 'both' to see them.

Thanks! I solved this problem by applying your solution! The xticks are shown but the x-axis seems to be covered by the contour, do you know how to make the x-axis visible? Thanks!

My pleasure!

Without the actual data to experiment with, I can only suggest a solution.

Perhaps:

ylim([min(ylim)-0.2  max(ylim)])

would make them visible.

It may be necessary to experiment with that sort of approach to get the desired result.

That works! Thanks you soooo much!~
