Add date axis to colorbar

[Paul Dodd]

Hi all,

I would like to add date ticks to my colorbars in the same
way as one can to the x and y axes. I tried the following:

h=colorbar('v');
set(get(h,'datetick'),'string','x');

which returns:

??? Error using ==> get
There is no 'datetick' property in the 'colorbar' class.

Does anybody know a work-around? I'm sure I can't be the
only person who wants to plot time as a third dimension.

Many thanks,

Paul

This should do the trick:

h = colorbar;
datetick(h,'y');

Does not work since the changes in Matlab 2014b (h is a colorbar object not and Axes)

I am still looking for a workaround,
Anyone has a tricks?

All the best,
Max

Seems as though post 2014b, colorbars have their own structure. Ergo, I've found the following lines to work, assuming that your color variable is date:
c=colorbar('SouthOutside'); % Note you can change position
c.TickLabels = datestr(c.Ticks);
