Plotting: How can I remove the axis label and only have it at points of my choice?

I have created a plot:

data=[0.0308058510638298; 0.596862338112858;0.861890893648603; 0.673247180006754; 0.409382760478123; 0.157375455092607; 0.301794976611568]
maximum=3
x=0:0.01:maximum;
[a,b] = unifit(data)
y=unifpdf(x,a,b);
area(x,y)

axis([0 maximum 0 2])
xlabel('energy consumption')
title('Fit to uniform distribution')

now I would like to remove the numbers on the axis label and only have it on the y axis at the max value (i.e. at y= 1/(b-a)) and at the x values a and b (see example)

How can I do this? Many thanks in advance!

 Do you mean axis label or axis tick label

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

set(gca, 'XTick', [a b], 'YTick', max(y(:)) );

 If you mean axes Tick Label at end of your code write this,
 set(gca,'YTickLabel','||||||1.2')
 set(gca,'XTickLabel','0.0308||0.8619|||||')
