offsetAxes(ax)
In Python/Seaborn, there is the option to offset the x and y axis at the origin. This 'despine' pulls the x-axis down a bit, and the y-axis left, so that data that are close to either one become more visible. This function mimics the behaviour in a matlab plot, by changing the axis limits and covering the origin of the axes with a white line.

Updates
| 2.0.0.0 | Thanks to Pierre Morel and http://tinyurl.com/obtuh39, I updated the function to resize 'XRuler.Axle.VertexData' and 'YRuler.Axle.VertexData', and keeping this constant when resizing using a listener. |
|
| 1.2.0.0 | new file |
|
| 1.2.0.0 | added a user-defined option to mask data outside range |
|
| 1.2.0.0 | Instead of only masking parts of the axes we don't wan't, also cover this part of the data with a white area (in case xdata or ydata extend beyond current axis limits). Optimized for 4x4 subplots. Added use of plotboxpos by Kelly Kearney |
|
| 1.1.0.0 | Added screenshot, slack values adjusted for 4x4 subplot |

Hi Anne, I was just looking into the possibility to integrate such functionality in gramm (I like the look!), and I convinced myself that there should be a cleaner way of doing this, without white lines/boxes. A trip to undocumentedmatlab and a few minutes later I found that in recent Matlab versions you can actually shorten axes lines by changing values in a.XRuler.Axle.VertexData and a.YRuler.Axle.VertexData. Additional hidden properties can be read with fieldnames(struct(a.YRuler.Axle))
