You gotta be kidding.  There's no way a file 9000 pixels wide is 
"readable".  It won't fit on any kind of screen you're ever likely to 
get.  If you rescale it down far enough to fit, the letters will be 
squashed into unreadability.  If you zoom in, 80% or so of it will be 
invisible.  That's no way to establish readability.

That's quite wide for a tick label, which risks that neighboring labels 
will run into another.  You'll want to make that narrower, e.g. print it 
in two-line format:

	set format x "%b %d\n%H:%M"

or rotate it:

	set xtics rotate
