There is a better  and simpler  solution than the one given by John Vinyard  Use NullLocator   import matplotlib pyplot as plt  plt plot range 10   plt gca   xaxis set major locator plt NullLocator    plt show   plt savefig  plot     Hope that helps

Alternatively  you can pass an empty tick position and label as    for matplotlib pyplot   --------------------- plt xticks           for axis object   ---------------   from Anakhand May 5 at 13 08   for major ticks ax set xticks       for minor ticks ax set xticks     minor True

Modify the following rc parameters by adding the commands to the script  plt rcParams  xtick bottom     False plt rcParams  xtick labelbottom     False  A sample matplotlibrc file is depicted in this section of the matplotlib documentation  which lists many other parameters like changing figure size  color of figure  animation settings  etc

The tick params method is very useful for stuff like this   This code turns off major and minor ticks and removes the labels from the x-axis   from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt plot range 10   plt tick params      axis  x              changes apply to the x-axis     which  both          both major and minor ticks are affected     bottom False         ticks along the bottom edge are off     top False            ticks along the top edge are off     labelbottom False    labels along the bottom edge are off plt show   plt savefig  plot   plt clf

Not exactly what the OP was asking for  but a simple way to disable all axes lines  ticks and labels is to simply call   plt axis  off

Those of you looking for a short command to switch off all ticks and labels should be fine with plt tick params top False  bottom False  left False  right False                  labelleft False  labelbottom False   which allows type bool for respective parameters since version matplotlib gt  2 1 1 For custom tick settings  the docs are helpful  https   matplotlib org api  as gen matplotlib axes Axes tick params html
