st: Re: log base 10 axis

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

I'm not sure what the problem is -- the scaling is logarithmic either way so 
the distance between successive powers of 10 will be equal to each other, 
i.e. log(1000)-log(100) equals log(100)-log(10) regardless of whether the 
base of the logs is 10 or e.    Maybe what you want is labeling on powers of 
10? for example:

xscale(log) xlabel(100 1000 10000)
