gnuplot: I need to plot on x-axis only 2 values

I use a gnuplot script to make a graph where I have values on x-axis.

 #SETUP X AXIS
 set xlabel 'STATION' offset 0,-1.5
 set xtics out 1001,44 rotate by 90  offset 0,-3
 set xrange [min:max]

The above works OK with files with ranges of data between "min" and "max" but this time I have a special case with only two values: I want on x-axis only value1 (min) and value2 (max), nothing before, after and in-between.

How can I do that?

I've tried to comment out

 #set xtics out 1001,44 rotate by 90  offset 0,-3

But I still get values between min and max on x-axis.

Your question is not clear to me. Do you want just plot the minimum and maximum value of a datafile/datablock or do you want to have just a xtic for the minimum and a xtic for the maximum value and no other xtics inbetween? Please clarify and add a graph (and tell which points or tics you want or don't want) or add some example datalines. - theozh
I am also not entirely sure, but perhaps you are looking for plot "filename" using 1:2:xtic(1). - user8153
Another guess: could you be looking for set xtics (value1, value2)? I.e. you can specify a list of places to place a tic rather than a start/interval/end recipe. - Ethan
Yes, this works! And yes, theozh, I was looking for having just a xtic for the minimum and a xtic for the maximum value and no other xtics inbetween because for this file I only had 2 values. - esse

Ethan suggestion works

set xtics (value1, value2)

Thank you!
