Selectively hide axis text, ticks, and titles for plots in a multi-plot layout. Useful for removing redundant axes when plots share the same scale.
Arguments
- plot
A ggplot, patchwork, or list of ggplot objects.
- x.axis
Logical or integer vector. `FALSE` (default) keeps all x-axes. `TRUE` hides x-axis for all but the last plot. An integer vector specifies which plot indices should have their x-axis hidden.
- y.axis
Logical or integer vector. `FALSE` (default) keeps all y-axes. `TRUE` hides y-axis for all but the first plot. An integer vector specifies which plot indices should have their y-axis hidden.
- plot_dims
Integer vector of length 1 or 2 giving `c(nrow, ncol)` of the layout. When provided, automatically determines which axes to hide: x-axes are hidden for all rows except the last, y-axes for all columns except the first.

Examples
library(ggplot2)
p1 <- ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width)) + geom_point()
p2 <- ggplot(iris, aes(Petal.Length, Petal.Width)) + geom_point()
# Hide x-axis on first plot
