Tick marks when I set "box on".

When I set "box on", the tick marks appear on the top, bottom, left and right sides of the plot. Can I make it only show left and bottom?

Hi,

Here is an example, which only displays tick marks on the left and bottom axes: -

figure;

plot(1:20);

% get handle to current axes
a = gca;

% set box property to off and remove background color
set(a, 'box', 'off', 'color', 'none');

% create new, empty axes with box but without ticks
b = axes('Position', get(a, 'Position'), 'box', 'on', 'xtick', [], 'ytick', []);

% set original axes as active
axes(a);

Output: -
