Hello,

I have a problem with labeling my xtics.

My x-achsis shows values between 0% and 100%.

For this reason I want to label my xtics with "10%", "20%",.... "100%".
But:
set xtics ("10%" 10.0, "20%" 20.0, "30%" 30.0, "40%" 40.0, "50%" 50.0,
"60%" 60.0, "70%" 70.0,"80%" 80.0,"90%" 90.0,"100%" 100.0)

Does not work. I am getting the error: "Bad format character".

I also tried it with the typical escape character format:
set xtics ("10\%" 10.0, "20\%" 20.0, ...

set xtics ("10%%" 10.0, "20%%" 20.0, ...

Type "help format" at the interactive gnuplot prompt.
The percent character is a special escape that
introduces format strings. One might expect to be
able to escape it in the usual way, but when that
(and all else) fails, read the manual.
