# Specify and rename ticks in FrameTicks

When I plot, I use

Frame -> True


I would like all ticks on the frame axes to disappear and remain only with two ticks, say, 0.1 on the x-axis and 0.5 on the y axis. Also, I would also like to change their labels from the value 0.1 to "x1" and from the value 0.5 to "y1"

Anyone have an idea what to write in

FrameTicks -> ?????


to get what I describe.

• Begin by reviewing the many earlier questions on Ticks. Feb 26 '15 at 12:48
• The documentation says, "For each edge, tick marks can be specified as described in the notes for Ticks." Expand the "Details" section to get a complete description. Feb 26 '15 at 13:51

Something like this, maybe?

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, π},
Frame -> True,
FrameTicks -> {{{{.5, "y1"}}, None}, {{{1., "x1"}}, None}}]


The important thing to keep in mind about specifying frame ticks is that they are given in the order

FrameTicks -> {{leftYTicks, rightYTicks}, {bottomXTicks, topXTicks}}
