Hi, I would like to make invisible just a part of an axis. Is it possible? If Yes, how?

Not really any way piecewise, no. The axis color is one property as is 'Visible' either {'on','off'}
Best could do that I can think of builtin would be to set
xticks([0:0.2:0.6])
that would leave the axis line but eliminate the extra tick labels/ticks.
Only way I can think of to get the full effect would be to set 'Visible','off' for the X axis and then draw the line and ticks manually; doable but a pain.
ADDENDUM:
OK, the following does work although you may need to use a slightly heavier line width than default to avoid a few speckles being left...
hold on
xticks([0:0.2:0.6])
hL3=plot3([0.8 1],[0.5 0.5],[0.5 0.5],'w-');

OBTW, you'll probably have noticed and fixed up your code but I left out the tick step spacing in typing the xticks line above -- fixed in the Answer to
xticks([0:0.2:0.6])
You can, of course, also set the starting point of the line to anywhere along the x axis you wish to get the apparent length as desired. I just chose 0.8 as a guess as to what your original example would have been.

Yes yes, I adjusted my code with the xticks I needed... Very cool solution, I am very thankful! :)
