[Gnuplot-info] xtics in logscale

[Mahmood N. <nt_...@ya...>]

Hi
I have been confused by setting a custom tic in a logscale mode. On x-axis I have

1, 10, 100, 1000, 1E+4, 1E+5

Problem is that in small figures, the 'E' tics overlap each other (because they are long) and the figure gets messy. So I wrote

set logscale x
set xtics 1,10
set xtics add (10000)

So I expect not to see 100, 1000 and 1E+5. But the output is not I want. What is wrong then?

 
Regards,
Mahmood

Hmm.  But they're actually _shorter_ than your alternative, so how do 
you expect that to be any better?

How did you figure the above would remove the tics at 100, 1000 and 1e5?

And what _is_ the output?

For now: your expectation.

I am not sure whether I unterstand you correctly.
You may want to try

set format x "10^{%T}"

It will display the tic labels as 10^4, 10^5 etc. which saves space.
Assuming you are using wxt terminal you can have a nicer look if you type:

set term wxt enhanced

The output contains all tics  1,10,100,1000,1E+4,1E+5

I found that this command   
    
    set xtics (1,10,10000) 

works and is better than  
  set xtics 1,10
  set xtics add (10000) Regards,


I don't know why but that works.


>set format x "10^{%T}"

Yes that is also works.

Thanks

Then you must re-read "help set xtics" until you do.  For starters let 
me just point out the obvious:

	set xtics 1,10

is not the same as

	set xtics (1, 10)
