controlling amount of xtics

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I often need long strings for xtics, like full timestamps; example: http://gamma.tar.bz/nGeigies/42.png
code: https://github.com/thinrope/fixed_sensor_visualization/blob/master/timeplot.gpl

Depending on the time such plot is generated, the number of xtics is changing +/- 1 and when it is +1 it is too crowded.

Is there a way to say I want "no more than N xtics", without having to specify their position/label explicitly?

Or some other way to restrict too crowded labels?
Ideally gnuplot should take into consideration the rendered width of (at least) fixed labels and space them appropriately, but I know that is too hard in general.

Kalin.
