- When plotting a function with an xrange of [3:24], gnuplot draws a
- graph with the x-axis basically running from 3 to 24. The tic marks,
- however, go from 5 to 20 in steps of 5. Here's a simple picture:

- |--|---------|---------|---------|---|
- 5 10 15 20
-
- Thus, left and right edge of
- the plot have no tic marks. From an ergonomic viewpoint, I think this
- is very bad. It's virtually impossible to eyeball what the starting
- and ending values are. Here's a simple picture of what I want to see:
-

- 0 5 10 15 20 25

- Setting xtics doesn't help, as the documents say, because it gets
- clipped by xrange.
-
- There should be some way of doing this. Graphs look much better when
- they start and end with axis labels.
