Hi, I am trying to create a qualitative figure for which I don't want tick marks
or numbers, but having some axes would be nice.

If I do: 

plot.new()
axis(2,labels=FALSE,tick=FALSE,lty="solid",lwd=1)

I expect this should give me a vertical line on the left edge of the plot, but
nothing draws. When I run:

axis(2,labels=FALSE,tick=TRUE,lty="solid",lwd=1)

both the line and the ticks draw 

If I type:

axis(2,labels=TRUE,tick=FALSE,lty="solid",lwd=1)

I get numbers, but still no axis line. 

I also checked with axis(1,...) and saw the same behavior.
