[Gnuplot-info] minor ticks on logaritmic axis

[Bo J. <li...@f7...>]

Dear all

I am trying to understand how gnuplot sets minor tics on a logaritmic 
scale and if that is "correct"

running the following minimal example:

set logscale x
set xrang [10:100]
set yrang [1:10]
set mxtics 4
plot "<echo '50 1'"

shows that minor tics are sat at  25,50, and 75

The first interval represents a smaller linear range (10-25) whereas the 
later 3 represents a range of 25.
It that what is expected for minor tics on a log scale.

setting mxtics to 8 is even worse I now gets minor tics at: 12.5, 50, 
37.5 ...
in which the first interval only represents 2.5 on a linear scale, and 
the minor tics seems totally out of place

Does any one here know what is the correct way to put minor tics?

Best
Bo
