Re: [Gnuplot-info] 12M? or 12 000 000? (not 12000000)

On stackoverflow, user Christoph answers this with examples using the
exponential notation,[1] i.e.,

```
set format y '%.0tE%+T'
```

and one where (user defined) yticks' labels basically run by kB, MB,
GB, TB, PB.[2]  Though for the second one, gnuplot possibly offers a
more compact approach than by addition of 

```
set ytics 10
set mytics 10

set ytics add ( "1 kb" 1000, \
"10 kb" 10000, \
"100 kb" 100000,\
"1 mb" 1000000, \
"10 mb" 10000000,\
"100 mb" 100000000,\
"1 gb" 1000000000, \
"10 gb" 10000000000.0,\
"100 gb" 100000000000.0,\
"1 tb" 1000000000000.0, \
"10 tb" 10000000000000.0, \
"100 tb" 100000000000000.0, \
"1 pb" 1000000000000000.0, \
"10 pb" 10000000000000000.0 )
```

as instruction.

Based on the preview shared with simultaneous presence of lower-level
(trace rjc; incal and lich) and higher-level data (trace solene), a
plot substituting y by its transformation into lg(y) or sqrt(y) may be
worth a consideration.
