Question

I am using flot to display bar charts. When I set the tickLength to 0, it hides the vertical and horizontal lines but it also hides the x-axis and y-axis lines. I need the x-axis and y-axis with out the vertical and horizontal grid lines. Is there a way to do this?

Please see the second chart in the image. That is what I want.

This trickier than I thought it would be. The only thing I can come up with is to disable the border and axis lines, than add them back in manually:

$(function() {
    var d2 = [[0, 3], [4, 8], [8, 5], [9, 13]];
    $.plot($("#placeholder"),
      [{data: d2,
        bars: {
            show: true
        }}
      ],
      {
        xaxis: {
            tickLength: 0
        },
         yaxis: {
            tickLength: 0
        },
        grid: {
           borderWidth: 0,
           aboveData: true,
           markings: [ { xaxis: { from: 0, to: 10 }, yaxis: { from: 0, to: 0 }, color: "#000" },
                       { xaxis: { from: 0, to: 0 }, yaxis: { from: 0, to: 15 }, color: "#000" }]
        }
      }
    );
});
