Round ytics to nearest ten

I want to create a bar chart with gnuplot where I have exactly 5 tics on the y axis. I use this answer to do this. However, I get very exact numbers on the ytics when I do this. By doing set ytics format "%.0f", I can round the values to the nearest number. However, I want to round these numbers again to the next ten as well. So when I get the value 91.7 on the y-axis, it should instead make a tic at 90 or 100.

Is there a possibility to do this in gnuplot?

If you want to have the same spacing between all ticks, you could just adapt the answer you link to by changing the two operations involving the factor 10:

dy = floor((GPVAL_Y_MAX-GPVAL_Y_MIN)/(ntics*10.))*10

"set ytics 10" will give one tic every 10 units over whatever range is relevant.
