I have set a colobar for an experiment with a user defined limit for it, but i dont know why the colorbar is repeating the values cyclically. This is the part of the code that generates colorbar.
limColorBar = 2.0;
colormap(ha,'hot');
caxis([0,limColorBar])
hcolorBar = colorbar(ha); hcolorBar.LimitsMode ='manual';
hcolorBar.Limits = [0,limColorBar];
ha.CLim = [0,limColorBar];
hcolorBar.TickLabels = round((1/17)*hcolorBar.Ticks,2);%scalefactor 1/17 for 1.6mag; 4/83 for 2.5mag
xlabel(hcolorBar,'mm/min')
Please help me rectify this.
Thank you.

When you resize a window the number of ticks generally changes so your number of tick labels may well become insufficient for the number of ticks. When this happens it repeats the labels you have given it for the extra ticks which do not have a label.
To deal with this you would likely have to add some code that responds to a figure resize event or simply choose how many ticks you want and hard code them, then create your tick labels from them and then when the window resizes it will not recalculate ticks.

一个ccording to the doc , Tick mark labels, specified as a cell array of character vectors, a string array, a numeric array, a character vector, or a categorical array. By default, the colorbar labels the tick marks with numeric values. If you specify labels and do not specify enough labels for all the tick marks , then MATLAB® cycles through the labels.
Below is one workaround
closeall; clc;
indexedImage = imread('cameraman.tif');
% Make it go from 0 - 2:
indexedImage = 2 * mat2gray(indexedImage);
imshow(indexedImage);
limColorBar = 2.0;
colormap('hot');
caxis([0,limColorBar])
hcolorBar = colorbar();
hcolorBar.LimitsMode ='manual';
hcolorBar.Limits = [0,limColorBar];
temp = hcolorBar.TickLabels;
hcolorBar.Ticks = [str2double(temp(1)) str2double(temp(2)) str2double(temp(3)) str2double(temp(4)) str2double(temp(5))];
hcolorBar.TickLabels = round((1/17)*hcolorBar.Ticks,2);%scalefactor 1/17 for 1.6mag; 4/83 for 2.5mag
一个nother workaround
closeall; clc;
indexedImage = imread('cameraman.tif');
% Make it go from 0 - 2:
indexedImage = 2 * mat2gray(indexedImage);
imshow(indexedImage);
limColorBar = 2;
colormap('hot');
caxis([0,limColorBar])
hcolorBar = colorbar();
hcolorBar.LimitsMode ='manual';
hcolorBar.Limits = [0,limColorBar];
hcolorBar.Ticks = linspace(0,limColorBar,5);%This depends on limcolorbar value
hcolorBar.TickLabels = round((1/17)*hcolorBar.Ticks,2);%scalefactor 1/17 for 1.6mag; 4/83 for 2.5mag
xlabel(hcolorBar,'mm/min') ;
Hope this helps!

Using the example given by Image Analyst, I commented out the Limits lines of code, and it works as intended. Give that a try.
indexedImage = imread('cameraman.tif');
% Make it go from 0 - 2:
indexedImage = 2 * mat2gray(indexedImage);
imshow(indexedImage);
limColorBar = 2.0;
colormap('hot');
caxis([0,limColorBar])
hcolorBar = colorbar();
% hcolorBar.LimitsMode = 'manual';
% hcolorBar.Limits = [0,limColorBar];
hcolorBar.TickLabels
hcolorBar.TickLabels = round((1/17)*hcolorBar.Ticks,2)%scalefactor 1/17 for 1.6mag; 4/83 for 2.5mag
xlabel(hcolorBar,'mm/min')

Strange. It worked for me on 2018b.
