I would like to produce a graph which plots a log scale variable on the y-axis but have the tick marks on the y-axis be the non log transformed values that are round like .5, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. Has anyone done something like this in the past? How did you implement it in the code? Thanks, Dean

plot(c(0.5, 5), 1:2, log="x", xaxt="n") axis(1, at=c(0.5, 1:4)) Take a look at `An Introduction to R' and ?axis. BTW, please try to use a more precise subject line. Something like `Adding a custom axis to log-scale plots'?
