[Tex/LaTex] Hide tick numbers in a TikZ/PGF axis environment.

pgfplotstikz-pgf

I have a TikZ/PGF axis enviroment where by default numbers are shown along the ticks.

I want it to look like this:

Axis without tick numbers

(Axis without tick numbers)

I found out how to modify the ticks itself using something like

    x tick label style={major tick length=0pt}

in the options of an axis environment.
But I couldn't find out how to modify the numbers along the ticks itself.
Isn't there an option to hide them?

My current code to generate the 1st example:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{plotmarks}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}[
      title={Test Axis},
      xlabel={Test X Label},
      ylabel={Test Y Label},
    ]
    \end{axis}
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Just add yticklabels={,,} to the options for the axis environment. Your example then looks like shown below.

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{plotmarks}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}[%
      title={Test Axis},
      xlabel={Test X Label},
      ylabel={Test Y Label},
      yticklabels={,,}
    ]
    \end{axis}
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

This feature is documented in Section 4.14.2 (Tick Alignment: Positions and Shifts) on page 180 of the pgfplots 1.4.1 manual. Quite hidden in the last example of the mentioned section.
