Tics

The set tics command can be used to change the tics to be drawn outwards.

Syntax:

        set tics {<direction>}
        show tics

where <direction> may be in or out. set tics defaults to in. show tics displays a lot of information about the tics.

It is now necessary to do

  set xtics nomirror ; set ytics nomirror
in order to switch off the duplicate tics on top and right borders. This is useful when doing impulse plots.

See also the set xtics, set ytics, and set ztics commands for more control of tic marks and set mxtics, set mytics, and set mztics for minor tic marks.
