title: Xtics not working as expected with logscale in Gnuplot
body: <p>According to Gnuplot's documentation, <code>set logscale; set xtics 1,10,1000</code> should enable <code>logscale</code> and label the major tics on the x-axis starting from 1, ending at 1000, with each major tic in between being 10 times larger than the previous one. The increment factor is said to be multiplicative when in logscale. For some reason, this factor is being interpreted as additive on my computer, despite having set logscale.</p>
  
  <pre><code>set logscale
  set xtics 1,10,100
  plot 1/x
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>produces (gnuplot 5.2)</p>

  <p>It's clear that the major tics are being labeled as if <code>10</code> is interpreted as an additive factor. In the end, I wish to have the standard log_base_10 scale tic marks (that is, ten tic marks between each major ones) but label the major tic marks with my own numbers.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>  </p>
  
  <p>I am reading elsewhere that this might be a bug with the new gnuplot 5.2. To know for sure, would someone else confirm this? Perhaps if it's not too much of a hassle someone could try this out on their older gnuplot?  </p>
