Figure 5.2: Logarithmic transformation of x-coordinates
\begin{figure}\centering\epsfig{figure=eps/GMT_log.eps}\end{figure}

The log10 transformation is selected by appending an l (lower case L) immediately following the scale (or axis length) value. Hence, to produce a plot in which the x-axis is logarithmic (the y-axis remains linear), try





psxy -R1/100/0/10 -Jx1.5il/0.15i -B2g3/a2f1g2WSne -W1t2_2:0p -P -K -H sqrt.d >! GMT_log.ps
psxy -R -Jx -Ss0.075i -G0 -W -O -H sqrt.d10 >> GMT_log.ps





Note that if x- and y-scaling are different and a log10-log10 plot is desired, the l must be appended twice: Once after the x-scale (before the /) and once after the y-scale.
