## set xlint

`set xlint interval`

Specifies the `interval` between labeled tick marks on the X-axis.

### Usage Notes

1. If `interval` is a positive value, the labeled tick marks will 'start' at `0`, regardless of the current dimension environment. For example, if you set the `interval` to `3`, the labeled tick marks will be at `0, 3, 6, 9` ...

2. If `interval` is a negative value, the labeled tick marks will 'start' at the axis start value, which is usually the lower limit of the X dimension environment. If this were `30` (with an `interval` of `10`), then the labeled tick marks would be at `30, 40, 50, 60`...

3. This command is overridden by the `set xlevs` command.

4. This command will override the X-axis tick mark interval specified with the `set xaxis` command.

5. Reset by clear, but not display.

6. This command does not apply to a date/time axis.

7. `set xlint` and `set ylint` may not work as described when used to control grid lines for polar stereographic projections.
