Nick,
You can see the extra spaces in the second one. When the range of the
x-axis gets large, the gap becomes much more pronounced:
. mylabels 1 300 6000 18000, myscale(ln(@)) local(labels)
0 "1" 5.703782474656201 "300" 8.699514748210191 "6000" 9.798127036878302 "18000"
. mylabels 1 300 6000 18000, myscale(ln(@)) local(labels) format(%6.0fc)
0 " 1" 5.703782474656201 " 300" 8.699514748210191 " 6,000"
9.798127036878302 "18,000"
