If it's always an ordinal number on x axis and you want 1:10 as the
x-axis limits whatever the number in the plot vector use xlim() to set
the limits.

plot(rand(5,1))
xlim([1 10])

If the x-axis values are something other than ordinal use appropriate
limits. Can also set the 'xtick' property specifically.
