First, you can specify the axis settings with axis = (; ...). Makie.Axis` provides multiple variables for different aspects of the plot. This means that removing all decorations is only possible by setting many variables each time.

Second, Makie does provide methods like hidespines! and hidedecorations!. Unforunately, user may lose access to a plot after it is drawn in.

Third, hidespines! and hidedecorations! can be called by setting variables with layout = (; hidespines = (), hidedecorations = ()).

Same with spines: hidespines = (:r, :t) will remove the top and right borders.

f = Figure()
plot_butterfly!(
    f[1, 1],
    data;
    positions = pos,
    topomarkersize = 10,
    topoheigth = 0.4,
    topowidth = 0.4,
    axis = (; title = "With decorations"),
)
plot_butterfly!(
    f[2, 1],
    data;
    positions = pos,
    topomarkersize = 10,
    topoheigth = 0.4,
    topowidth = 0.4,
    axis = (; title = "Without decorations"),
    layout = (; hidedecorations = (:label => true, :ticks => true, :ticklabels => true)),
)
f

Since some plots hide features by default, which can be reverted by setting the variables to nothing

data, positions = TopoPlots.example_data()
plot_topoplot(
    data[:, 340, 1];
    positions = positions,
    layout = (; hidespines = nothing, hidedecorations = nothing),
)

For more information on the input of these functions refer to the Makie dokumentation on Axis.
