MATLAB: How can one remove y-axis ticks on imagesc but keep labels

imagescMATLABno tickmarks

While heatmapping my data with imagesc, I want to display on my x-axis ticks and labels, but on y-axis I only want to display labels, no ticks. I know one can remove all ticks by setting the length to zero with set(gca,'TickLength',[0 0]). But how to achieve this on only one axis?

hAxes.YAxis.TickLength = [0 0];

Following on from what you said in your own question. That seems to work. Assuming you are in a sufficiently recent version of Matlab. You didn't give your version.

MATLAB: How to remove the tic labels but not the marks

what you could do is use the set command for the axis. like

set(gca,'YTick',[]); %which will get rid of all the markings for the y axis

set(gca,'Yticklabel',[]) 
set(gca,'Xticklabel',[]) %to just get rid of the numbers but leave the ticks.

MATLAB: Is there a way to remove individual tick labels

ax = gca;   %or as appropriate
yticklabels = get(ax, 'YTickLabel');
yticklabels{end} = '';   %needs to exist but make it empty
set(ax, 'YTickLabel', yticklabels);
