Do not show the tick mark when no data

Hi,
I have used the XYPlot to plot a StackedXYBarRenderer and I observed that the tick marks were visible even when there is no data. I would like to have the tick marks visible on X-axis only when there is data. How to achieve this.
I know this sounds simple but, I need to know to which flag of a method should I set this option.

Thanks,
Laks.

you can hide ticks like this.

p.getDomainAxis(0).setTickLabelsVisible(false);
p.getDomainAxis(0).setTickMarksVisible(false);

where p is your plot.

You can hide the tick marks as the previous poster suggested, but there isn't a way to make this happen automatically just when there is no data.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to show the labels on the X axis only when there is data at that point, because it does not look good to show a label there and no data is available for that point...

Thanks.

You could subclass the axis and override refreshTicks().
