MATLAB: How to keep a certain axes unchanged

matlab gui

I am using following statement to clear all axes in gui at once.

arrayfun  (@cla,findall  (0,'type','axes'));

The statement works well and clears all axes. But out of all axes I need to keep one axes not to be cleared as it displays logo. How to modify above statement so that said axes shouldn't be cleared.

setdiff the results of the findall and the handles you want to keep.

MATLAB: Is it possible to remove only specific tick mark(s) while keeping tick labels

No; removing a tick clears the associated label; there's an inbuilt 1:1 correlation; "no tickee, no lablee".

To do this would require either

drawing the ticks specifically; as you note there isn't sufficient granularity in HG2 to specify individual tick lengths or colors to simulate the effect, or
deleting the desired ticks then text in the labels for those locations

Oh, alternatively, you could probably overlay two axes to achieve the combined effect between the two...

hAx=axes;                                % new axes
xt=hAx.XTick;                            % retrieve ticks
hAx.XTick=xt(1:2:end);                   % clear some
hAx(2)=axes('position',hAx.Position');   % second axes on top of first
hAx(1).XTickLabel=[];                    % turn labels of first off
hAx(2).TickLength=[0,0];                 % set ticks to zero length 2nd
hAx(2).YTick=[];                         % get rid duplicates for y
axes(hAx(1))                             % bring first to foreground

results in

Overall, one of the first two options is probably simpler in the end...
