How can I specify array parameter using Gnuplot command?

Question

Specifically, I want to set xtics using several specific values through the -e option, as like how we specify a parameter

gnuplot -e "param=1" script.gnuplot

But it returns the following error,

gnuplot -e "myxtics='(2,4,7,16)'" script.gnuplot

set xtics myxtics
                 ^
"script.gnuplot", line 58: increment must be positive

What should I do?

You can get gnuplot to explicitly handle the variable as a macro, so that it is expanded in the set command line as the very first thing. Just prefix the variable with @:

set xtics @myxtics
