Suppress ticks in plot in r

Question

I want to remove labels and axis from X axis, however adding new ticks.

plot(1:10, ylab = "")
at1 <- seq(1, 10, 0.1)
axis(side = 1, at = at1, labels = FALSE)

I could not get rid of y labels.

have you looked at this? http://www.statmethods.net/advgraphs/axes.html — daedalus, May 01 '12 at 03:16

see ?par You need the xaxt argument

plot(1:10, ylab = "", xaxt='n')

is there a reason why you are using double quotes in `""` and single quotes in `'n'`? – Nisba Oct 11 '18 at 16:23
@Nisba personally I use `''` with a character and `""` with a string. – Rafs Jul 24 '20 at 14:12
This is not only suppressing the ticks, but also the labels. Example: plot.new() plot.window(xlim=c(0,1), ylim=c(0,1)) axis(1, xaxt='n', labels=0:1, at=0:1) – jmb Mar 04 '22 at 15:30

I am not certain what you want, but this removes the x label and uses the tick marks you are generating with at1:

plot(1:10, ylab = "", xlab="")
at1 <- seq(1, 10, 0.1)
axis(side =1, at1, labels = F)

I took the suggestion by GSee to remove the y tick marks if you also want to do that.

plot(1:10, xlab = "", ylab = "", yaxt='n')
at1 <- seq(1, 10, 0.1)
axis(side =1, at1, labels = F)
