Re: [Gnuplot-info] x-axis label while using "every"

[BBands <bb...@gm...>]

If you know the exact labels you want and where you want them a
simpler method is 'set xtics'. From my finance demo script, this line
replaces the default x-axis labels with date labels.

set xtics ("6/03" 66, "7/03" 87, "8/03" 109, "9/03" 130, "10/03" 151,
"11/03" 174, "12/03" 193, "1/04" 215, "2/04" 235)

Yikes! Has it really been ten year since I wrote that?
