Hi, David

Suppressing the entire axis would also erase the xtitle/ytitle. That's
what bothers me. I wanted it to be consistent when there is no breaks
at all. It may look like an overkill with this not so elegant
solution. Afterall, one could always use xyouts to draw the xtitle/
ytitle and fine tune the positions and charsize.

Best,
Yun
