I have some data where the x-axis is years. The range is
[1989:2013].

I would like to have year numbers like 1990, 2000, 2010
with large tics at these numbers, but small tics for the
whole range, as I would get with

xtics 1989, 1, 2013

There is another problem. I once asked here about colouring
a plot, and got a recipe, which works fine. However, it seems
to erase tic marks. For example, I have

set xtics 1990, 5, 2010
set ytics 0, 100, 300
set obj rect from graph 0, graph 0 to graph 1, graph 1 back \
    fc rgb '#FFEFD5' fillstyle solid 0.5

and the numbers come out on both axes, but no tic marks. Is
this an effect of the set obj line?

set tics front
set xtics 1990, 5, 2010 scale 1,1
set mxtics 5
set ytics 0, 100, 300
set obj rect from graph 0, graph 0 to graph 1, graph 1 back \
      fc rgb '#FFEFD5' fillstyle solid 0.5

This should solve both problems.

Thanks, but the tic marks at the numbers are the same size as
all the others. Can they not be made bigger?

Found it out, scale 2,1. I should have known.

One more question:
I want a line at y = 0, so I added

set xzeroaxis

to the code. But there is none. Do the above commands somehow
block a zero line?

Yes, the rectangle covers the zeroaxis, which does not have the option 
to be shifted to the front.

Use

set arrow from graph 0,first 0 to graph 1, first 0 nohead lt 0

The problem was that the plot consists of points, many of which lie
on the zero line, which is why I wanted to lift this a little.
However, I got around this in a better way by inverting the scales in
the xtics line, e.g.

set xtics 1990, 5, 2015 scale -2,-1

which now gives me tic marks pointing down and out of the way. So
I don't need to lift the zero axis.

Thanks for your help!
