Gnuplot: removing or moving tics at the border of graph with autoscaled tics

Question

I'm trying to add an empty boundary around the data in an autoscaled graph without having tics in the empty boundary or at the border.

$ gnuplot -p -e "set offsets 0,0,0.1,0.1; plot sin(x)" 

Desired result

Tics are gone at the y-axis border/in the empty boundary

Answer 1

set offsets 0,0,0.25,0.25
set yrange noextend
plot sin(x)

There is also the possibility to approach this quite differently, which may or may not be appropriate for your case.

set border 2
set ytics rangelimited
set xtics axis
set tics nomirror
set xzeroaxis
set offsets 0.,0.,.25,.25
plot sin(x)
