title: Core-Plot CPTScatterPlot data labels
body: <p>When you create a scatter plot it auto-labels the points on the graph itself. I find this very annoying and want to shut it off as it isn't useful for what we are doing. Is there a way without removing all labels?</p>
  
  <p>TO BE CLEAR, these show up without adding any annotations.. I want to remove this default behavior.</p>

  <p>I want to remove the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc in the graph.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code I'm using to create the graph. As you can see it doesn't set any annotations, etc.</p>

  <p>So something is turned on by default.. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any and all help.</p>
