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?

function(x)bquote(10^.(x)))))

Hi Luigi,
Your x-axis has a lot of labels, but you can pack them in like this:
library(plotrix)
staxlab(1,at=c(0.49, 0.98, 1.95, 3.91, 7.81, 15.63, 31.25, 62.50,
125, 250, 500, 1000))
