Remove tick marks for axes

Hello everyone,

I would like to remove just the tick marks on the top axis and the right axis. How do I do this? I have attached my plot code to this question.

Thanks

figure (2)
plot(RunNo,CAL,'o','Linewidth',2)
hold on
plot (VarName1,VarName2,'d','Linewidth',2)
xlabel ('Time (s)')
ylabel ('\theta (\circ)')
legend('Automated Measurements','Manual Measurements')

you can set Box property of the axes to 'off'. With this, the top and right axes will be gone completely. If you do like to have that box without ticks, I think you can fake this.

But I need to have the box. Just need the tick marks removed

An easy way to "fake" this after setting "Box" to "off", as Peng Li suggests, is to make xline and yline. But it wouldn't be dynamic - if you change the axis limits, you'd have to re-draw the "fake" box

ylim = get(gca,'YLim')
xlim = get(gca,'XLim')
xline(xlim(2),'-k')
yline(ylim(2),'-k')

But just to comment, while a valid ask, it seems a very uncommon need...I don't think any editor or reader or consumer of plots would even notice/pay attention to such a detail, and if they noticed, I feel like at least 50% of the time (being generous with random chance) they would perceive it as odd rather than expected...

I think so too that it is a very uncommon need but my supervisor asked for it. I can't say no unfortunately
