How do I get rid of the dotted lines when using multcompare?

I want to use a figure from multcompare in a paper, I want to get rid of the vertical dotted lines that show the interval of convergence.

y = [52.7 57.5 45.9 44.5 53.0 57.0 45.9 44.0]';
g1 = [1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2];
g2 = {'hi';'hi';'lo';'lo';'hi';'hi';'lo';'lo'};
g3 = {'may';'may';'may';'may';'june';'june';'june';'june'};
[~,~,stats] = anovan(y,{g1 g2 g3},'model','interaction',...
    'varnames',{'g1','g2','g3'});
results = multcompare(stats,'Dimension',[1 2])

[results,~,h] = multcompare(stats,'Dimension',[1 2]); %return 'h', the figure handle

axh = gca(h);                 % get the axis handle
axh.XLimMode = 'Manual';      % if you don't do this, the xlim will change when lines are removed
axh.YLimMode = 'Manual';      % if you don't do this, the ylim will change when lines are removed
refLineHandles = findobj(axh.Children,'LineStyle', ':'); % find the handle to the ':' lines
delete(refLineHandles)        % delete those lines

This works, thank you!

Hello Adam,

I have a different question. I actually want to plot all the vertical dotted lines for all groups and not just the one I clicked on. Is that possible. Can I then change the colours to the same colour for all?

Kind Regards

Michael

You can use xline(__,'k:','Alpha',.2) to add vertical lines. You just need to determine the x-value for the line.
