'Visibility of Axis OFF.bas shows how to turn off the visibility of an axis.

'This is equivalent of unchecking the check box for the axis in the Object Manager.
'It does not turn off the tick marks, labels or axis titles (it just makes them invisible).
'To turn off the tick marks, labels and titles, please see HideAxes.bas.
