Question

I’m trying to create a large plot with many subplots in MATLAB, with the very center plot being a compass. However, I’d like to just display the arrows in the compass, and NOT the tick marks around the side. I know that when using the normal plot function, you can simply type:

set(h,'XTick',[],'YTick',[]);

But I was wondering if there is an analogue when plotting with the compass function.]

It’s not that easy, unfortunately. From the Mathworks support site here, you’ll have to do something like:

set(findall(gcf, 'String', '30', '-or','String','60') ,'String', ' ');

That is, you need to find each tick mark and set it to a string with just a space. You can probably build up the required command and then do an eval on it.
