#4680 — Many digits

I am using this gnuplot script:

gnuplot << eoi
set term postscript enh eps 24
set output 'concs.eps'
set nokey
set xlabel 'X'
set ylabel 'C'
set ytics 0, 0.5, 1
set xtics 0, 1, 6
plot 'concs.dat' w l lt 1
quit
eoi

If I don't specify tic marks, I get, e.g, for Y, 0.0, 0.1, .2, ... 1.0
and for X 0, 1, 2, ...6. I don't want so many, so I put in the tic
mark specs, and now I get for Y, 0.000000, 0.500000 and 1.000000, and for 
X 0.00000, 1.00000 etc.
I know I can specify the number format but I never got this before.
I have G N U P L O T
        Version 5.4 patchlevel 2    last modified 2021-06-01

so it is not an update. I must be causing this - but how?

hm, have you tried sommething like:
set format x ".1f"


What I also like:
set format x "%d.%m.\n%Y"
;-)

Healthy new year,

Yes, "%1.f" fixed it. But I am wondering why I needed
to use it, which I have not, before. I don't see
anything in my script that would cause the many digits.
Ah well, academic.
