3 Logarithmic axes are quite similar to linear axes and differ only in a very few
4 properties, namely a non-linear mapping of values to axis positions. They also
5 have different default partitioners and raters (see below). ... While the
6 partitioner really is quite different - it implements a logarithmic positioning
7 of the ticks - the rater just alters some defaults in favour of using more
8 subticks to improve the visualization of the logarithmic nature of the axis.
10 ! Besides presenting a standard logarithmic axis, we also show you how to alter
11 the base used by the logarithmic axis. Since the functionality of a logarithmic
12 axis is independent of the base, all we need to adjust are the components for
13 creating ticks (see `log2parter`) and the texts for the labels (see
14 `log2texter`). More details about the parters and texters components are given
15 below in the corresponding examples.
