Just for the records: there is another way of doing it
Use XTICKFORMAT='NOLABEL'
and keep the function NOLABEL somewhere:
function NOLABEL, axis, index, value
; function for the graphics keyword tickformat
; returns an empty string for no tick annotation
return, ''
end

/NOLABEL would be nice, but of course it is possible to have a single plot
command:
label = [[replicate( '', 30)], $ ; label(*,0) gives you default
[replicate(' ', 30)]] ; label(*,1) gives you /nolabel
for i = 0, nplots-1 do begin
plot, x, y(i,*), $
position=[llx,lly(i),llx+wx,lly(i)+wy] $ ; ;-)
; ..., $ ; all the thousand parameters
xtickname=label(*,i eq 0)
endfor
