## Query or set the tick labels on the x-axis of the current axis.
##
## When called without an argument, return a cell array of strings of the
## current tick labels as specified in the @qcode{"xticklabel"} axes property.
## These labels can be changed by calling @code{xticklabels} with a cell array
## of strings.  Note: a vector of numbers will be mapped to a cell array of
## strings.  If fewer labels are specified than the current number of ticks,
## blank labels will be appended to the array.
##
## When called with argument @qcode{"mode"}, @code{xticklabels} returns the
## current value of the axes property @qcode{"xticklabelmode"}.  This property
## can be changed by calling @code{xticklabels} with either @qcode{"auto"}
## (algorithm determines tick labels) or @qcode{"manual"} (tick labels remain
## fixed).  Note: Specifying xticklabel values will also set the
## @qcode{"xticklabelmode"} and @qcode{"xticks"} properties to
## @qcode{"manual"}.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on
## this axis rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## Requesting a return value when calling @code{xticklabels} to set a property
## value will result in an error.
