Hi all,

I just would like to know how to remove all "axes" from a polar plot in GnuPlot 4.6.0 (most recent version as per time of this writing).

Since the problem could best be shown by an example, please take a look at one of the GnuPlot demo pages: http://www.gnuplot.info/demo/polar.html

The last graph on this page shows some sort of "x axis" (I am meaning the thing showing to the right, beginning at the center of the circles) which I would like to be removed. Although reading the manuals and googling for some time now, I don't know how this thing is called in GnuPlot terminology, and more important, how I could remove it.

I would be very grateful for any hints.

Thank you very much,

Peter

Well, to answer my own question: I have found out that it's called raxis and that I can remove it by using the command 'unset raxis'.

I wasn't able to find out in the first place because the GnuPlot help (on windows) is a little bit confuse. There seem to be many keywords which are definitely working in 4.6.0, but are nowhere in the help (e.g. nowriteback). But that's not a problem right now...
