I am using flot to display bar charts. When I set the tickLength to 0, it hides the vertical and horizontal lines but it also hides the x-axis and y-axis lines. I need the x-axis and y-axis with out the vertical and horizontal grid lines. Is there a way to do this?
Please see the second chart in the image. That is what I want.
This trickier than I thought it would be. The only thing I can come up with is to disable the border and axis lines, than add them back in manually:
$(function() {
var d2 = [[0, 3], [4, 8], [8, 5], [9, 13]];
$.plot($("#placeholder"),
[{data: d2,
bars: {
show: true
}}
],
{
xaxis: {
tickLength: 0
},
yaxis: {
tickLength: 0
},
grid: {
borderWidth: 0,
aboveData: true,
markings: [ { xaxis: { from: 0, to: 10 }, yaxis: { from: 0, to: 0 }, color: "#000" },
{ xaxis: { from: 0, to: 0 }, yaxis: { from: 0, to: 15 }, color: "#000" }]
}
}
);
});

Mark answer works but it's a little too hardcoded for his data. This one is a little better:
$(function() {
var d2 = [[0, 3], [4, 8], [8, 5], [9, 13]];
$.plot($("#placeholder"),
[{data: d2,
bars: {
show: true
}}
],
{
xaxis: {
tickLength: 0
},
yaxis: {
tickLength: 0
},
grid: {
borderWidth: 0,
aboveData: true,
markings: [ { yaxis: { from: 0, to: 0 }, color: "#000" },
{ xaxis: { from: 0, to: 0 }, color: "#000" }]
}
}
);
});
Still if your chart starts at a value different than 0 you have to manually change the markings.
Setting
xaxis: { tickLength: 0 }, yaxis: { tickLength: 0 }
will also hide the grid lines.
For the case of a (0,0) origin, you can fake the axes by just drawing bottom and left border lines:
grid: {
borderColor: 'black',
borderWidth: {
top: 0,
right: 0,
bottom: 2,
left: 2
},
...
}
Try to color the lines in white (or your bg-color)
yaxis:
. . .
tickColor: "#cccccc" /* or better "#ffffff" */
