xtics according to a nonlinear scale

[Giuseppe A. <Giu...@ct...>]

Hi,

is it possible to have an user-defined scale on an axis according to a 
given nonlinear function? I mean something like "set logscale x", but with 
tics distributed according to x**2 or any other given f(x).

I know I could use "set xtics", and then define every single tic I need, 
but that's of course much more cumbersome.

Thanks for every hint.

Giuseppe.
