Hi all,

I'm trying to log chart but with natural looking tick marks. My
specifications are very specific -- it must indicate the lowest
number's tick as well as the maximum.

I've attached sample code and data for a particular  case (and there
are a few more like this) where the bottom tickmarks on the chart are
not set to where I want them to be and yet they fit in the ylim range.

Please, can anyone help? I'm tearing my hair out at this point..

Thanking you in advance,

George.
