minor tics (2, 3, ..., 8, 9 between 1 and 10, for example) are obtained by setting to 10, even<br />
though there are but nine sub-intervals.<br />
Minor tics can be used only with uniformly spaced major tics. Since major tics can be placed arbitrarily<br />
by set {x|x2|y|y2|z}tics, minor tics cannot be used if major tics are explicitly set.<br />
By default, minor tics are off for linear axes and on for logarithmic axes. They inherit the settings for<br />
axis|border and {no}mirror specified for the major tics. Please see set xtics (p. 149) for information<br />
about these.<br />
36.40 My2tics<br />
Minor tic marks along the y2 (right-hand) axis are controlled by set my2tics. Please see set mxtics<br />
(p. 79).<br />
36.41 Mytics<br />
Minor tic marks along the y axis are controlled by set mytics. Please see set mxtics (p. 79).<br />
36.42 Mztics<br />
Minor tic marks along the z axis are controlled by set mztics. Please see set mxtics (p. 79).<br />
36.43 Offsets<br />
Offsets provide a mechanism to put a boundary around the data inside of an autoscaled graph.<br />
Syntax:<br />
set offsets , , , <br />
unset offsets<br />
show offsets<br />
Each offset may be a constant or an expression. Each defaults to 0. Left and right offsets are given in<br />
units of the x axis, top and bottom offsets in units of the y axis. A positive offset expands the graph in<br />
the specified direction, e.g., a positive bottom offset makes ymin more negative. Negative offsets, while<br />
permitted, can have unexpected interactions with autoscaling and clipping.<br />
Offsets are ignored in splots.<br />
Example:<br />
set offsets 0, 0, 2, 2<br />
plot sin(x)<br />
This graph of sin(x) will have a y range [-3:3] because the function will be autoscaled to [-1:1] and the<br />
vertical offsets are each two.<br />
36.44 Origin<br />
The set origin command is used to specify the origin of a plotting surface (i.e., the graph and its<br />
margins) on the screen. The coordinates are given in the screen coordinate system (see coordinates<br />
(p. 18) for information about this system).<br />
Syntax:<br />
set origin ,
