Evenly distribute bar groups in a bar graph with a non-periodic X-Label in MATLAB

I have a Matrix I like to put in a bar chart. This works, however the x-axis is not periodic, it follows the following numbers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 70 80 90

These values are stored in the variable Batchsizes, the Matrix is stored in the variable valuable

I use the following code:

figure;
bar(Batchsizes,valuable);
set(gca,'Xtick',Batchsizes(1:length(Batchsizes)));

The following output is generated:

enter image description here

As you can see, the graph is crowded on the left and wide on the right. I would like to have the bar groups evenly distributed over the x-axis so that the graph is evenly spaced while preserving the old x-labels.

Any help is really appreciated.

Remember the answer to your previous question? This is exactly the case when you do want to use XTickLabel (because now the ticks will be positioned at 1:1:29 but you want labels to have the values Batchsizes(1),Batchsizes(2),...). Here's one way to do it:

Batchsizes = [1:9, 10:2:28 30:5:55 60:10:90];
valuable = randi(35,numel(Batchsizes),3);
figure; bar(1:numel(Batchsizes),valuable);
set(gca,'XTick',1:numel(Batchsizes),...
        'XTickLabel',cellstr(num2str(Batchsizes.')));

The result is:
