gnuplot - offset xtics

So I have measurements for x in 0,100,500,100,1500,2000,2500 and am plotting with linespoints.

The problem now, is that when I

set xtics (0,100,500,1000,1500,2000,2500)

The 0 and 100 tics overlap.

enter image description here

Can I somehow offset them s.t. they don't? (E.g. move the 0 tic up, closer to the axis?)

Solution

  • You cannot offsets for individual tics.

    One hacky way I see is to add some spaces to these two labels: 

    set xtics ("0    " 0, "    100" 100, 500,1000,1500,2000,2500)
