nvd3: remove y-axis tick labels from discrete bar chart

[Jonas Heyden]

I am trying to remove y-axis tick labels from a discrete bar chart in nvd3.

I already looked into the nvd3 source, but can't find an obvious function I could change. Can anyone point me to the solution?

I'm not sure if you're referring to the actual ticks or to the associated tick text.  I'm assuming that you want to remove the associated tick text.  I would modify the associated css in order to get the effect that you want.  

Assuming you've created your svg component that you wish to draw, create a group and give the group the class labels of y and axis.  This will give you refined control over both axes.  

// Add the yAxis to the graph 

svg.append("g")

    .attr("class","y axis")

.attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + ", 0 )")

    .call(yAxis);

Associated CSS

.y.axis text{

    display:none;

}
