How can one remove axis ticks on imagesc but keep labels?

I am trying to remove the physical tick marks from imagesc on both the x and y axes, but have labels for both axes I want to keep. Is there a way to remove the ticks, or control the size of them so they are virtually invisible?

Have you tried setting the length of the ticks to 0?

set(gca,'TickLength',[0 0])

I have the same problem, but I do not need the axis lines, nor ticks, but I want to keep the xlabel and ylabel. How to do this?

Hi Mr M.

This answer is probably a bit late for you, but maybe somebody else googling this topic might benefit.

To remove the 'axis lines', use

grid off
