Remove colorbar border but keep tick labels

I'm needing to remove the outline around my colorbar. When I set the colorbar edgecolor to none (hcb.EdgeColor = 'none'), it does remove the outline, but it also removes my YTickLabels. Any idea why it's doing so and how to maintain my labels while removing the outline around the colorbar?

Hi John

Can you try adjusting the LineWidth property of the colorbar's axis?

By setting "hcb.LineWidth" to very small value ,I think you can effectively remove the outline of the colorbar while keeping the tick labels visible. You cannot keep it to 0 because it will give an error. I tried this on my end, but I am not sure if this is what you want to do.

I did consider this and tried to adjust to a very small value (e.g., hcb.LineWidth=0.000001), but the outline of the colorbar is still pretty apparent in my figure

The closest you can do is turn the outline of the colorbar off. The axis is integrated with ticks and tick labels.

surf(peaks)
c = colorbar;
c.Box = 0;
c.EdgeColor = [0 0.3 0];
