John,
Thanks for the reply. To be clear, I am not referring to the tics on the
x-axis, but the points on a linespoints curve in the graph.
Specifically, I want to be able to set the point interval for the points
on the line in an exponential fashion, rather than a linear option for
"point interval". In other words, if I have have 1000 (x,y) points to
plot, I would like a linespoints curve with point markers at (x1,y1),
(x10,y10), (x100,y100), (x1000,y1000).Is it possible to do that?
Thanks,
Matthew
