Remove gray lines from Boxplot Extrememode

I'm trying to remove the gray lines from the boxplot when using ('extrememode', 'compress') settings. I would rather it look more like just an axis break. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks! (I'm using Matlab 2013a)

You can access the individual lines in the axes if you wish (and you can set their Color property to [0 0 0]).

Here is an example of how to remove the lines from a simple boxplot using this method:

load carsmall

figure;
boxplot(MPG, 'ExtremeMode', 'compress');
xlabel('All Vehicles')
ylabel('Miles per Gallon (MPG)')
title('Miles per Gallon for All Vehicles')

fig = figure;
boxplot(MPG, 'ExtremeMode', 'compress');
xlabel('All Vehicles')
ylabel('Miles per Gallon (MPG)')
title('Miles per Gallon for All Vehicles')

lines = fig.Children.Children.Children

lines(4).Color = [1 1 1];
lines(5).Color = [1 1 1];
lines(6).Color = [1 1 1];
lines(7).Color = [1 1 1];
