I think you're almost there....all you need to do is turn off the axis
labels. There are several ways to do this...the easiest is probably use the
[xyz]tickformat keyword to specify a null print format for the ticks.

For instance,
.run
- function tickform,axis,index,value
- return,''
- end

plot,ticklen=1,... ;real plot
plot,ticklen=-.05, xtickformat=tickform, ytickformat=tickform, noeras=1.....

Good luck!
