gnuplot: Replace decimal point by another character

Using gnuplot v4.6.6: To increase the available space for the actual graph I want to reduce the space required by the y-axis label to the bare minimum.

I'm now using: set format y "%4.1s%c".
Which results in labels like 500.0k. It would be nice if I could reduce this by one more character resulting in labels that look like this : 500k0

However, I can't figure out how to get this. Can it be done, and if so: how?

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Here's an example graph of what I have now: example For this graph I use set format y "%3.0s%c" which is okay most of the time. But in some cases an extra decimal would be helpful.

You can modify the decimal character:

set decimalsign 'k'

Update:

Or you could plot log10(bits/s);

set yrange[0:9]
set ytics 1
plot 'data.d' using 1:(log10($2))

That would represent everything between 0 bits/s and 10^9 bits/s with a single digit on the y axis...
