15.64.49.6 LOGARITHMIC

- Log scale is used. Each decade may be divided into subintervals corresponding to the leading digit of the scale (1,2...,9). -LOGARITHMIC generates a log scale for negative values. * LABELS=n1,n2.. - Specify which subintervals within a decade are labeled (2-9). ALL labels all subintervals while NONE labels no subintervals. If you specify NONE then no subintervals are labelled. If EXPONENTIAL is specified exponential notation is used. * TICKS=n1... - specifies which subintervals have unlabeled ticks (2-9). ALL puts ticks on all subintervals while NONE draws no ticks. SHORT|LONG determine whether labelled ticks are short or long. If unspecified LONG is assumed. Labelled ticks at each decade are always long. * DECADES=n - (1 to 31) Specifies how often decades are labelled. For example DECADES=2 labels every other decade. * SUBTICKS=n - (0-9) Specifies how many subticks are between subinterval ticks. If n is greater than 0 then long ticks are drawn at for each interval and n short subticks are drawn in between. If unspecified labels, and ticks are picked for "pleasing" results. Generally if less than one half decade is plotted the rules for making linear scales and ticks are followed. Otherwise a maximum of 6 or 7 labels are produced. Exponential notation is only used if specified or when the the label would exceed 6 digits or more than 3 decades are plotted.
