I have some data where the x-axis is years. The range is
[1989:2013].
I would like to have year numbers like 1990, 2000, 2010
with large tics at these numbers, but small tics for the
whole range, as I would get with
xtics 1989, 1, 2013
How can this be done?

There is another problem. I once asked here about colouring
a plot, and got a recipe, which works fine. However, it seems
to erase tic marks. For example, I have
set xtics 1990, 5, 2010
set ytics 0, 100, 300
set obj rect from graph 0, graph 0 to graph 1, graph 1 back \
fc rgb '#FFEFD5' fillstyle solid 0.5
and the numbers come out on both axes, but no tic marks. Is
this an effect of the set obj line?

I suspect you sent this to the wrong place. This is a newsgroup about
the text editor Emacs (maybe the editor you're using to write your
"xtics 1989, 1, 2013" commands), but not about the tool that reads those
commands to display things with tics.

Sorry, you are right, it was meant to go to a gnuplot ng.
A temporary lapse.
