matlab remove only top and right ticks with leaving box on

Question

In Matlab figure, I would like to remove ticks only from the top and right axes with keeping the plot box on.

I know if I make the plot box off, the ticks on the top and right go away. But, this is not what I want. In other words, I want to keep ticks only at the bottom and left and, at the same time, want to keep the plot box on.

Answer 1

You can use box off to remove the ticks and then draw the box back using plot. For example:

figure
hold on
box off
plot(1:10)
plot([1,10],[10, 10],'k')
plot([10,10],[1,10],'k')

Answer 2

Now in 2022, if anyone is still interested in a quick resolution other than the box option, here is my answer:

figure  
plot(1:10) ;  
ax = gca ;  
ax.Box = 'off'  ;  
xline(ax.XLim(2),'-k', 'linewidth',ax.LineWidth);  
yline(ax.YLim(1),'-k', 'linewidth',ax.LineWidth);
