The cleanes solution, is to use the NullLocator. I'm not a user of pylab Matlabish interface, but from what I know:: gca().xaxis.set_major_locator(matplotlib.ticker.NullLocator()) gca().yaxis.set_major_locator(matplotlib.ticker.NullLocator()) after importing matplotlib.ticker of course. Should work, but didn't try. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axis_api.html#matplotlib.axis.Axis.set_major_locator http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.gca You are free to use the OO interface which yields the same. Notice that upon clear() the locators are most probably lost. gca() get the current Axes object. xaxis and yaxis are its Axis attributes. The locator defines where to set ticks. If it's the NoneLocator this is rather a stub to saying "don't place ticks ever". But it's more clean than to force them directly to the empty list because it'll survive at least limit changes. I don't know if the manual method survives that. Otherwise it's also a matter of taste. >From the docs I do not see that you could hand over the locators directly to the imshow call http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.imshow. For the frame, if it really matters, you can set the ``edgecolor`` probably to 'none', literally with the quotes. There's a Figure object created when you create the plot, you can get it via gcf(). Try to figure out how to set its egdecolor either on construction or later. If you are stuck tell.
