Without a subplots  you can universally remove the ticks like this   plt xticks     plt yticks

If you use the matplotlib object-oriented approach  this is a simple task using ax set xticklabels   and ax set yticklabels     import matplotlib pyplot as plt    Create Figure and Axes instances fig ax   plt subplots 1     Make your plot  set your axes labels ax plot sim 1  t   sim 1  V    k   ax set ylabel  V   ax set xlabel  t      Turn off tick labels ax set yticklabels     ax set xticklabels      plt show

Not sure this is the best way  but you can certainly replace the tick labels like this   import matplotlib pyplot as plt x   range 10  y   range 10  plt plot x y  plt xticks x      plt show     In Python 3 4 this generates a simple line plot with no tick labels on the x-axis   A simple example is here  http   matplotlib org examples ticks and spines ticklabels demo rotation html  This related question also has some better suggestions  Hiding axis text in matplotlib plots  I m new to python   Your mileage may vary in earlier versions   Maybe others can help

to remove tickmarks entirely use   ax set yticks     ax set xticks       otherwise ax set yticklabels     and ax set xticklabels     will keep tickmarks
