Hello,
I would like to have a non linear axis scale. I already looked at the log10, reciproqual or offset reciproqual scale type, but I am not happy of the result. I want an axis scale from zero to 1000 but on a log 10 scale but with the log10 type I can't see the zero!
Sincerly,
Antoine |

Hi Antoine,
If all you want is to show a larger range of values on the log scale, you can double-click the axis to bring up the axis dialog, and enter a very small value, such as 1e-6 for example, in the From box. This will then show low values. Of course if you just rescale the graph, Origin should rescale to show all your data.
By the way, I tried to show zero on a log axis in Excel and it does not allow me to do that - comes up with an error dialog that states "Negative or zero values cannot be plotted correctly on log charts..." - I am using Office XP.
Maybe I am not understading you correctly. If you have an Excel file with a graph that shows what you want, please send it to us at tech@originlab.com and mention this forum post in the e-mail.

Thanx,
But I don't know so much about script (how is working this script window in fact?) and C. I just want to have a larger scale for the low values of my data, excel can do that! It's a shame but I will go back to it, to have the graph I want!!!!

Hi Antoine,
It is not possible to show zero on a log scale setting because log(0) is undefined.
If you want to create some sort of custom scale yourself, you can look at this knowldege base item to see how that can be done:
