Legend of the XX/YY axes.

set ylabel "Shittiness of the web"

Mirror or not the axes' tics -- notice the YY axis has tics on both the left

and right, but the XX axis has only on the bottom, not the top.

set ytics mirror

set xtics nomirror

Use a logscale of base 7 for the XX axis -- the base is optional and defaults

set logscale y 7

The actual plot: `exp(x)` is the expression to plot; `x` is "special" --

the available axes/dimensions, but I don't know details of this so RTFM.

`title "..."` sets this line's legend.

plot exp(x) title "Super straight line"
