I want to make a scatterplot with Gnuplot of these data (1st column as x-coordinates):2015.493379 5 2015.505479 5 2015.513699 25 2015.530137 25 2015.532877 20 2015.543836 5 2015.552055 5 2015.554795 10 2015.563014 15 2015.565753 15 2015.582192 10I'm using this command:plot file.txt u 1:2The problem is the x-axis precision: gnuplot truncates the first column numbers at the first two decimals (2015.49, 2015.50, etc). I tried to change the x format (format x %.6f for ex) but it does not change the precision: x-tics just become 2015.490000, etc instead of 2015.49, whereas I want 2015.493379, etc, and the mouse pointer does not give extra information (in the bottom-left corner, the coordinates of the point pointed by the mouse have the same precision).Do you know how to tell gnuplot to take the entire number into account ?

Instead of changing the format of tics, change the format of the axisset format x %.6fYou might then need to set the xtics format to a different oneset xtics format %.4fIf you want to change where xtics start and how often they tic, use the following syntax:set xtics 2015.49337, 0.01To change the format of the coordinates shown for the mouse pointer, use the mouse option:set mouse format '%.6f'
