hello, is R able to suppress tick labels (not tick marks)? i know there is a way around this with axes=F and then draw new axes, but it would be easier to suppress them in the first place. -- ------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Leuzinger Institute of Botany, University of Basel Sch??nbeinstr. 6 CH-4056 Basel ph 0041 (0) 61 2673511 fax 0041 (0) 61 2673504 email Sebastian.Leuzinger at unibas.ch web http://pages.unibas.ch/botschoen/leuzinger

Looking at ?axis suggest that you could set labels=FALSE to suppress those. It indeed seems to work, although you get a warning for each omitted tick label (but you must get used to warnings if you plot()). Try: plot(rnorm(20), labels=FALSE) cheers, jari oksanen -- Jari Oksanen, Oulu, Finland
I think the question was about the __tick mark__ labels not the __axis__ labels. The standard way of dealing with this is, as Sebastian said, to draw customized axes. However, par(lab=c(1,5,5)) reduces the number of tick mark labels to 2 at the range of the axes, apparently, if that helps. lab=c(0,5,5)), which one might try to remove the labels, gives an error. -- Bert Gunter Genentech Non-Clinical Statistics South San Francisco, CA "The business of the statistician is to catalyze the scientific learning process." - George E.
