2.2.3.2. How do I define an invisible axis?

There is a property of the axis called Visible . You can set Visible to off as follows:

set(gca,'Visible','off')

This is very useful if you want to place text in the figure window with respect to the borders of the figure, rather than with respect to the axes.
