GNU Info (gnuplot.info)mxticsMinor tic marks along the x axis are controlled by `set mxtics`. They can be turned off with `set nomxtics`. Similar commands control minor tics along the other axes. Syntax: set mxtics {<freq> | default} set nomxtics show mxtics The same syntax applies to `mytics` (Note: mytics ), `mztics` (Note: mztics ), `mx2tics` (Note: mx2tics ) and `my2tics` (Note: my2tics ). <freq> is the number of sub-intervals (NOT the number of minor tics) between major tics (ten is the default for a linear axis, so there are nine minor tics between major tics). Selecting `default` will return the number of minor ticks to its default value. If the axis is logarithmic, the number of sub-intervals will be set to a reasonable number by default (based upon the length of a decade). This will be overridden if <freq> is given. However the usual minor tics (2, 3, ..., 8, 9 between 1 and 10, for example) are obtained by setting <freq> to 10, even though there are but nine sub-intervals. Minor tics can be used only with uniformly spaced major tics. Since major tics can be placed arbitrarily by `set {x|x2|y|y2|z}tics`, minor tics cannot be used if major tics are explicitly `set` (Note: set-show ). By default, minor tics are off for linear axes and on for logarithmic axes. They inherit the settings for `axis|border` and `{no}mirror` specified for the major tics. Please see `set xtics` (Note: xtics ) for information about these. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
