Putting certain tick labels in boldface (but not all of them)?

Question

In MATLAB I have a graph with some tick labels. I\'d like to visually emphasize a few of these labels, but not all of them. Is there a way to only put SOME tick labels in b

Answer 1

%% creat a new control vector, like here I want to make some special labels
as bold red. 

control_vector = cell(length(the_origional_Xlabels), 1);
control_vector(index) = {'\bf \color{red} '}; 

%% the put string cat the control vector and the original xlables
new_labels = control_vector, protease_universal_sorted));
xticks(1:length(the_the_origional_Xlabels));
xticklabels(new_labels)
