Changing range of xtics by multiplying each x label

If I just do: plot 'count'
then I get a graph with the x axis labelled from 0:7 on the xaxis.
How can I change this so that it multiplies every x axis label by 50,
so that the axis reads 0,50,100,150,200...350 instead of 0..7?
I am aware of using set xtics, but doing something like
set xtics ("0", 0, "50", 1, "100", 2..) doesnt seem like a very
general solution. Does anyone have any good ideas?
Cheers, Stephen Eglen

Of course, you need awk and a gnuplot compiled with the possibility to read from a pipe but that's quite a standard in U*ix world... Hope it helps.

I fear that in gnuplot 3.5 there is no particularly elegant solution --
an explicit "set xtics" is about the best you can do.
3.6, however, makes it easy. Get it from cmpc1.phys.soton.ac.uk. But of
course it's still in beta-testing, so you may have to jump a few hurdles.

I think you want something closer to
plot "<awk '{ print (NR-1)*50, $1 }'"
since it's the missing datum that wants to be scaled up...
