Re: [Gnuplot-info] Tic labels in PDF histogram plot

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

with xtic() you are defining an explicit list of tics labels, as you can see
with
   show tics

you could either

modify this list after the first plot and then plot again without xtic():
   plot 'in.dat' using 2:xtic(1)
   set xtics ("45" 0.00000,  "50" 5.00000,  "55" 10.0000, "60" 15.0000, 
"65" 20.0000)
   plot 'in.dat' using 2

or

do something completely different also resulting in a histogram:
   plot 'in.dat' using 1:2 with histeps
