<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In the package pst-plot, there is the very interesting psgraph environment ad the command yticksize, xticksize to make the grid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In the example below, my data are in the range [0, 2000] so I put the axes at (0,0)(2000,2000).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To make the grid I use xticksize=0 1600 but I is too long for tex. So I had to convert in cm that perfectly works but implies to be dependent of the y size we use. (so if you change the size, you have to recomputed the
tick length)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Would it be possible to overcome the limitation without unit because this syntax is independent of the x and y size and so if change your graph size the ticks marks are still correct. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
