How to increase the number of ticks when using the logarithmic scale in gnuplot

Question

I created a 3D splot.

But I do not get enough tick marks shown on the x or y axis.

I tried to increase them using this:

set xtics 0.000001
set ytics 0.000001

This increases the number of tick marks, but not the corresponding labels.

Answer 1

Your team set xtics 0.000001usually indicates an increment of 0.000001. However, when you use the logarithmic axis, the increment value changes. Instead, it becomes a multiplier. Therefore, instead of the difference between each main tick, this is the ratio between them.
