Tics

By default, tics are drawn inwards from the border on all four sides. The set tics command can be used to change the tics to be drawn outwards on the left and bottom borders only. This is useful when doing impulse plots.

Syntax: 

        set tics {<direction>}
        show tics

where <direction> may be in or out. set tics defaults to in.

See also the set xtics, set ytics, and set ztics command for more control of tic marks. Using splot, in 3-d plots, one can adjust the relative height of the vertical (Z) axis using set ticslevel. The numeric argument provided specifies the location of the bottom of the scale. a zero will put it on the bottom grid and any positive number somewhere along the z axis.

Syntax: 

        set ticslevel {<level>}
        show tics

where <level> is a non negative numeric argument. For example, 

        set ticslevel 0.5

sets the tics level to the default value.
