Linked Axes: I need to extract xtics positions.

[Daniel F. <boy...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to experiment with 'linked axes' in gnuplot. Rather than  
delving straight into the
code (right away) I first want to test a few things by making a  
'linked axes' simple script that
controls gnuplot. To make it work, I need to know the positions at  
which gnuplot will (or
has chosen to) place tics marks on the x1 axis. Is is possible to  
extract this data using
gnuplot?

Alternatively a more general approach: is there a command line  
function were I can pass in a
column of data (text file) upon which it will return the location of  
where gnuplot with place tic marks? Would such a funciton be simple  
for anyone here to quickly pull together. It would take me quite a  
while to get use to the gnuplot code base to do so.

Cheers,

Dan.
