Hello all,

Usually I use R to make my stats/graphic, but I have this large spreadsheet to make some graphics, so I decided to try Gnumeric for a change. I like, it's better than OpenOffice, but here is the thing:
Does anyone knows how to make the tics of the axis be at specific values? I can set the tics at specific _intervals_, but if I want to have tics and labels like (3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,31,51), I can't..
I tried everything I could think in gnumeric, but without success..
any ideas?

thanks

Unless there's a trick I've also missed, you can't. Gnumeric is great for custom graphs, right up until you hit something like this (especially annoying with a non-linear axis, though still much better than OO).
