Hello,

I am trying to remove the following labels from a contour plot, but I cannot find the attribute for it.

This is the code to generate the plot:

```julia
using Plots
julia> c(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 -1
c (generic function with 1 method)

julia> contour(-1:0.01:1, -1:0.01:1, c, levels = [0])

```

Which returns the following output:

 ![33](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/1/e/1e062dc4af395c4d854777e86df4817c90282dac.png)

The axis I want to remove is the right y axis, and neither `xticks`, `yticks` or `zticks` seems to affect it.

Thats not an additional y-axis, it is the colorbar ( which only has one entry, in this example ).  
To disable it use

```julia
contour(-1:0.01:1, -1:0.01:1, c, levels = [0], colorbar = false)

```
