Dear All

I read in the Gnuplot info's, that when I define my own xtics, I can not
use mxtics, which makes sense.  However, especially in LaTeX terminals,
it is sometimes needed to redefine the axis label (actually only the
label and not the tics).  Is it somehow possible to define xtics and
mxtics the usual way but then change only the axis label, leaving the
tics as they are?  E.g., in Matlab you have two arrays defining the
tics, one with the numeric data and the other with the label strings.

Thanks!
Fab
