Replace the xlab=NULL and ylab=NULL in your example code with xlab="" and ylab="" to remove the "x" and "y" labels on your axes. If you're also trying to remove the ticks and tick labels, substitute xaxt="n" and yaxt="n" into your code.
x= c(1,5,7,3,4) y= c(2,4,5,2,5) plot(x,y,ylim=c(-20,20),xlim=c(min(x),max(x)),pch='X',col = rgb(0, 0, 0,0.5), xaxt=NULL,yaxt=NULL, xlab="",ylab="") > > On Sun, Nov 21, 2010 at 11:02 AM, madr <madra...@interia.pl> wrote: > > here's the code > > x= c(1,5,7,3,4) > y= c(2,4,5,2,5) > plot(x,y,ylim=c(-20,20),xlim=c(min(x),max(x)),pch='X',col = rgb(0, 0, 0, > 0.5), xaxt=NULL,yaxt=NULL, xlab=NULL,ylab=NULL) > > and x and y are still visible > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/plot-x-y-xlab-NULL-ylab-NULL-but-labels-still-visible-tp3052439p3052482.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > -- ___________________________ Luke Miller Postdoctoral Researcher Marine Science Center Northeastern University Nahant, MA (781) 581-7370 x318 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
