In principle, you can even use arrows instead of the native tics. It is 
a bit more work, and the "set *tics" commands won't of course work for 
them, but on the other hand, you can draw slanted tics where needed. One 
example is this graph of the Planckian colour locus in the CIE 1931 
diagram (I don't know whether this has actually been done in gnuplot, 
but I succeeded to reproduce similar plots with gnuplot):

Similarly, also coloured tics should be possible (as well as coloured 
tick labels, like the wavelength labels in the above figure).

Best wishes,

Ingo
