Comment(by kcrisman):

 From a participant in a workshop:
 {{{

 Say, if I want to show the multiples of 5 on the number line. How should I
 do that in SAGE?

 For example: points([(5*n,0) for n in [-3..3]]) gives me the y-axis which
 I don't want
 }}}

 jason says, regarding possible solutions,
 {{{
 I would just turn axes off and make your own line:

 points([(5*n,0) for n in [-3..3]],axes=False)+line((-3,0),(3,0))

 You'd have to do your own ticks, though.  You might also set ymin and ymax
 to something small (ymin=-.01,ymax=.01)

 It would be pretty straightforward for us to make an option that turns off
 axes selectively.  I could imagine an interface like:

 axes=False # turn off all axes
 axes=True # turn on all axes
 axes=[True,False] # turn on horizontal axis, turn off vertical axis

 or maybe it should be:

 axes='horizontal' # turn on only horizontal axis
 axes='vertical' # turn on only vertical axis.
 }}}
