I would like to know how to plot in Origin 8 a logarithmic plot (x axis) but instead to use the decimal (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10,...) or scientific (10^-2, 10^-1, 10^0,...), I want to use the logarithmic notation -2,-1,0,1,2 and so on.
In axis --> type I choose the option log10, but I cannot find the way to show the logarithmic scale as -2,-1,0,1,2...
It is possible?
Thank you! |

Try this for the right Y axis in the second layer.
layer2.y2.label.formula$=log(x);

Hi James, thank you. Now layer 1 is the way I wanted. But layer2.y.label.formula$=log(x) does not work. I also tried
layer2.RightY.label.formula$=log(x) and gave me an error. How can I change layer 2?
Thanks |

Please use:
layer.y.label.formula$=log(x);
Note here that log(x) is the general formula with variable x, you don't change it to y.

Hi, it's me again. I tried to show all axis labels in this plot in logarithmic scale as -2,1,0...The code layer1.x.label.formula$=log(x) worked correctly but when I tried layer1.y.label.formula$=log(y) and layer2.y.label.formula$=log(y) it did not work. In the case of the y axis in layer 1, the label disappears and I get what you see in the image. In the case of the y axis in layer 2, nothing happened when I applied the command. What am I doing bad? Thanks!

The GUI is for Origin of newer version. You may want to try our latest version. Please go to this page to start demo download:

In Origin 8.0, you can still modify the tick labels, but with programming way. Please select from menu Window:Script Window. Then make sure your graph is active, copy paste the following script into the script window and hit Enter. Your tick labels should be updated.
layer.x.label.formula$=log(x)
Thank you,

it doesn't work.
I use Origin 8, I did double click on the x axis, and under Display subtab there is an square called Divided by, I wrote here log(x). This didn't work.
Should I modified the type of plot or other additional parameter?
I show you below what i have before applying the function log(x) and after.
Thanks!

Hi Jaceta,
Double click on the x axis, switch to Tick Labels tab, under Display subtab, you just need to set the Formula to log(x).
