[Gnuplot-info] Labelled major and unlabelled minor axis tics

[Reginald B. <pul...@ya...>]

I want to have major tics which are labelled and minor tics which are not.

For some reason I seem not to be able to do that.  I've gone through all the demos that came with 4.4.3 and 4.6.5,  but none showed how to do that.  logscale produces the desired result, but I don't want a logarithmic scale.

gnuplot> sh tics

        xyplane ticslevel is 0.5
        tics are in back of plot
        x-axis tics are IN,     major ticscale is 1 and minor ticscale is 0.5
        x-axis tics:    on border and mirrored on opposite border
          labels are justified automatically, format "% h" and are not rotated,
            offset (character 0, 0, 0)
          intervals computed automatically

gnuplot> set xtics scale 10 1
gnuplot> sh tics

        xyplane ticslevel is 0.5
        tics are in back of plot
        x-axis tics are IN,     major ticscale is 10 and minor ticscale is 5
        x-axis tics:    on border and mirrored on opposite border
          labels are justified automatically, format "% h" and are not rotated,
            offset (character 0, 0, 0)
          series by 1

Note that I did *not* get a minor tic interval of 1, but of 5.

If I now "plot [0:100] x" all the tics are labelled and there is no distinction between major and minor tics

Thanks,
