How to contol the tick distance between each tick in gnuplot?












0















I quite wondering, if it is possible to control the distance between each tick (e.g in px, inches, cm) in gnuplot for print out.



Of Course I can generate a png and scale it to the correct value with an external tool, but in cases where it require 100% accuracy it's not so well.



Is there any easyer way? What is the right way to do it?

  • Setting ticks always depends on the data and not on any absolute plot or canvas size. By fixing or computing a lot of values (canvas size, plot size, data range) you could possibly calculate your desired tick positions. And even then you never know what your display/viewer/printer makes out of it.
