Gnuplot how to lower the number of tics in x axis

Question

The figure has too many xtics and ytics. Can I have half of them?

I know I can manually set tics in a way similar to this:

set xtics (1,2,4,8,16,32,6         


        

Answer 1

You can just use for example

 set xtic 10 

and it will display the tics on x-axis each 10.
