adjusting steps on y-axis on Gnuplot

I need to adjust the steps on the y-axis on Gnuplot, however, I don't succeed to do this,

NOTE that I don't want to use "logscale", so I need to just have the numbers appropriate to the x-axis values and I don't want too many steps on the y-axis to show up on the y-axis, how can I do this?

here is the result I want to achieve,

The image result I wish:

I really appreciate any help.

Solution

  • For the sake of not letting this (basic) question appear unanswered:

    Please check the manual (before asking on SO ;-). You can also find it if you type help xtics.

    Syntax: 

      set xtics {axis | border} {{no}mirror}
                {in | out} {scale {default | <major> {,<minor>}}}
                {{no}rotate {by <ang>}} {offset <offset> | nooffset}
                {left | right | center | autojustify}
                {add}
                {  autofreq
                 | <incr>
                 | <start>, <incr> {,<end>}
                 | ({"<label>"} <pos> {<level>} {,{"<label>"}...) }
                {format "formatstring"} {font "name{,<size>}"} {{no}enhanced}
                { numeric | timedate | geographic }
                {{no}logscale}
                { rangelimited }
                { textcolor <colorspec> }
