Thread Subject: axis off -> xaxis off

I want to turn off only the x axis, but not the y axis. Is
there a way to do it?

Thanks!

Hi,

Here is a trick:

set(gca, 'xcolor ',XCOL, 'xtick ',[])

where XCOL is a color that makes the X-axis invisible (most
commonly, white). Of course, the axis is still there:
something to keep in mind when you set up other axes or
make use of these gca properties:

Layer, LineWidth etc.

In addition, if you print your image in a file, use this
command:

set(gcf, 'color ',XCOL)

This is an awkward solution. There may be others, but I do
not know of them.

Yes, that's what I ended up doing. The idea was to free the
pixels taken by the width of the axes.
I also tried to set LineWidth to zero, but it returned an
error message that the width has to be greater than zero. I
believe Matlab should be more flexible with regard to this.

Thank you for the reply!
