Hi,

I'd like to hide the numbers on an axis in my plot since they are
arbitrary and just distract from the data being plotted. When I do
"axis off" I also lose my axis label. I would also like the line
where the axis is, just not the numbers.

Any ideas?

Hi,

You can manualy select ticks values by using the YTick property of the axis.
At least, an empty array will remove any ticks :

>> set(gca,'YTick',[]);

Look at documentation about SET/GET function and figure or axes properties
for more info on how you can customize plots in MatLab.
Another usefull property is YTickLabel which allowed any string or literals
to be use for axis labels.
