dear all, I have a xy plot in which x is logarithmic. The plot is fine, and I can also represent the logarithimic axis usign a tip given me by William Dunlap. However I would like to plot the actual x value rather than the log10 s in this case. If I remove the xaxt="n" the plot reports the scientific notation of the log, a rough version of the nice notation written by William Dunlap. So how can I write the value of the x axis?
