title: Spacing between tics in Gnuplot
body: <p>I've been going crazy looking for an answer to this question. How can I set the distance between the tics on gnuplot? Currently the tics in my plot are squished together too tightly. I want them to be more spread out.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an example:</p>
  
  <p>I have a graph that looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>100 ——
        |
        |
   50 —— 
        |
        |
    0 ——
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want it to look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> 50 ——
        |
        |
        | 
        |
        |
    0 ——
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Notice that there is actually one less tic in the after sample.</p>
