Removing all tics


Here is one way to remove the tics entirely from the plot. This gives a clean and simple appearance for applications where you need an illustration and the reader is not expected to glean quantitative information from the graph.

How to do it…

A ticless graph is accomplished very simply. The following script produces the figure following it:

unset tics
plot [0:2*pi] x**2*sin(x)

How it works…

The highlighted line simply tells gnuplot to not draw tics; we still get a border around the plot, but no tic marks, and consequently, no numerical labels on the axes.
