How do I change the X-Range without altering the data in Gnuplot?

Question

How do I change the xrange without affecting how my data on the plot looks? The range is [0:1000] and I want to switch it to [0:100], what i actually want is to convert it instead of changing it by divinding the range by ten. But whenever I try, the way the plot looks also changes. I tried by using xrange [0:100] but it didn't work. Can someone help?

Without example data and graph it's still not fully clear to me, but my guess is the following: You want to divide your data by factor of 10. Check the following example.

Code:

### scale x-data
reset session

$Data <<EOD
   0   1
 100   2
 200   3
 300   4
 400   3
 500   2
 600   1
 700   2
 800   3
 900   4
1000   3
EOD

set key top center
set multiplot layout 2,1

    plot $Data u 1:2       w lp pt 7 lc "red"

    plot $Data u ($1/10):2 w lp pt 7 lc "web-green"

unset multiplot
### end of code

Result:
