How to make only x-axis invisible (y-axis stays visible)?
显示 更早的评论
I have two axes (top, bottom) in a GUI. I do not want the x-axis of the top ghraph to be present (because it is the same as the bottom x-axis). I could not find how to handle separately the x and y axis visibility.

without seeing your code, a simple way is just to set the 'xtick' property to []
plot(randn(100,1));
set(gca,'xtick',[])

Does this get closer?
subplot(211)
plot(randn(100,1))
set(gca,'xtick',[]);
set(gca,'xcolor',[1 1 1])
subplot(212)
plot(randn(100,1))

This Question is posted in 2013, but still last week got more than a thousand views, and I also needed this info, and I got very helpful information in this post, but surprizingly later I got an other solution in Matlab documentation and that was not yet here, and it is probably the smalest code, and I tested it and it worked nice, so I decided to addd it, here it is:
axis off ;
And thats it your axes are gone.

Hi, axes('Color','none','XColor','none');
works for me Bests Johann

Hi,
Try:
ax1.YAxis.Visible = 'off'; % remove y-axis
ax1.XAxis.Visible = 'off'; % remove x-axis
Hope that helps, J

Note: this uses syntax and properties available from R2014b, and so cannot could not have been used in the 2013 time-frame the question was originally asked for.

How about removing only one y axis (say right side) and not both?
Thanks

@Ankit Labh ax1.Box = false;
This removes both the top and right side axes, but not the left and bottom axes.

Try the following:
h = gca;
h.XAxis.Visible = 'off';

This works great. Thank you.

This is better
If I set
set(gca,'xtick',[])
the grid will also vanish.
But with your code, the grid stays . Thanks

This solution might be overkill, but you can get that effect with my File Exchange program 'oaxes', available here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/30018. The following will show only a y axis at the left edge of the plot:
oa = oaxes;
oa.XAxisLine = 'off';
oa.XLabel = '';
oa.YLabel = '';
oa.Arrow = 'off';
oa.Origin = [-Inf -Inf 0];
% If you want the normal y label to be visible:
ylabel('my y axis...')
set(get(gca,'YLabel'),'visible','on')
This should get you close to what you are looking for. The oaxes documentation will give you more information about the properties used in the example above, including an explanation of the difference between the oaxes 'YLabel' property which is set to empty above, and the parent axes' 'YLabel' text object. The main difference in appearance I am getting is that the oaxes ticks are bidirectional (they extend out on both sides from the axes line), while a normal axes has ticks that only extend to one side. Currently, there is no way to change this in oaxes, but I might add it in a future release.
-John
h = axes;
plot(h,rand(10,1));
pos = get(h,'Position');
new_h = axes('Position',pos);
linkaxes([h new_h],'y');
pos(3) = eps; %Edited here
set(new_h,'Position',pos,'XTick',[],'XTickLabel',[]);
set(h,'Visible','off');

I solved something similar that way:
set(axis_h,'XColor',axis_h.Parent.Color);

This wasn't an option when the question was originally asked, but now you can change the Visible property of the appropriate ruler object that is part of the axes. Compare the axes without the ruler being changed:
ax = axes;
plot(ax, 1:10);
with one that does have the ruler turned off.
figure
ax2 = axes;
plot(ax2, 1:10);
% Get the ruler for the X axis
x = ax2.XAxis;
% Make it invisible
x.Visible = 'off';

That still doesn't answer the original question. The question was, could he remove the top axis only and keep the bottom axis. No one has answered this successfully
