<weekday> - Day of week.
WEEKDAY Day of week.
[D,W] = WEEKDAY(T) returns the day of the week in numeric and
string form given T, a serial date number or a date string. This
returns the short English days of the week.
[D, W] = WEEKDAY(T, FORM) :
[D, W] = WEEKDAY(T, LOCALE):
[D, W] = WEEKDAY(T, FORM, LOCALE):
The form argument can be one of:
short -- short days of the week (Default)
long -- long days of the week
The locale argument can be one of:
local -- Use local format
en_US -- Use default, US English format (Default)
Both of these arguments are optional and can come in any order,
following the date number.
The days of the week are assigned the following values, for the
English locales:
1 Sun
2 Mon
3 Tue
4 Wed
5 Thu
6 Fri
7 Sat
For other language locales, the second return argument will
contain the equivalent weekday name for that locale.
For example, [d,w] = weekday(728647) or [d,w] = weekday('19-Dec-1994')
returns d = 2 and w = Mon for the English locales.

<datetick> - Date formatted tick labels.
DATETICK Date formatted tick labels.
DATETICK(TICKAXIS,DATEFORM) annotates the specified tick axis with
date formatted tick labels. TICKAXIS must be one of the strings
'x','y', or 'z'. The default is 'x'. The labels are formatted
according to the format number or string DATEFORM (see tables
below). If no DATEFORM argument is entered, DATETICK makes a
guess based on the data for the objects within the specified axis.
To produce correct results, the data for the specified axis must
be serial date numbers (as produced by DATENUM).

===========================================================
yyyy full year, e.g. 1990, 2000, 2002
yy partial year, e.g. 90, 00, 02
mmmm full name of the month, according to the calendar locale, e.g.
"March", "April" in the UK and USA English locales.
mmm first three letters of the month, according to the calendar
locale, e.g. "Mar", "Apr" in the UK and USA English locales.
mm numeric month of year, padded with leading zeros, e.g. ../03/..
or ../12/..
m capitalized first letter of the month, according to the
calendar locale; for backwards compatibility.
dddd full name of the weekday, according to the calendar locale,
e.g. "Monday", "Tuesday", for the UK and USA calendar locales.
ddd first three letters of the weekday, according to the calendar
locale, e.g. "Mon", "Tue", for the UK and USA calendar locales.
dd numeric day of the month, padded with leading zeros, e.g.
05/../.. or 20/../..
d capitalized first letter of the weekday; for backwards
compatibility
HH hour of the day, according to the time format. In case the time
format AM | PM is set, HH does not pad with leading zeros. In
case AM | PM is not set, display the hour of the day, padded
with leading zeros. e.g 10:20 PM, which is equivalent to 22:20;
9:00 AM, which is equivalent to 09:00.
MM minutes of the hour, padded with leading zeros, e.g. 10:15,
10:05, 10:05 AM.
SS second of the minute, padded with leading zeros, e.g. 10:15:30,
10:05:30, 10:05:30 AM.
FFF milliseconds field, padded with leading zeros, e.g.
10:15:30.015.
PM set the time format as time of morning or time of afternoon. AM
or PM is appended to the date string, as appropriate.
DATETICK(...,'keeplimits') changes the tick labels into date-based
labels while preserving the axis limits.
DATETICK(....'keepticks') changes the tick labels into date-based labels
without changing their locations. Both 'keepticks' and 'keeplimits' can
be used at the same time.
DATETICK(AX,...) uses the specified axes, rather than the current axes.
DATETICK relies on DATESTR to convert date numbers to date strings.
Example (based on the 1990 U.S. census):
t = (1900:10:1990)'; % Time interval
p = [75.995 91.972 105.711 123.203 131.669 ...
