[Gnuplot-info] Logarithmic minor tics problem

[<And...@et...>]

Hi,

I have a problem with logarithmic tics. If I set the xrange limits to
integer powers of 10 (1, 10, 100, 1000, ...), everything works fine.
But try this simple example with gnuplot-4.0:

set logscale x
set xrange[50:5000]
set xtics 10
set mxtics 10
set grid x y mx
plot sin(log(x))

As you may notice, the minor x-tics between 50 and 100 are present
as expected, but the ones between 1000 and 5000 are not!
Now type the commands

set mxtics default
replot

and the minor x-tics for x>1000 are present as expected.
The same behaviour applies to a logarithmic y-axis.
Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks and Regards,

Andreas.
