Re: [Gnuplot-bugs] Bug with 4.4 and log-scale?

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

the 'set table' command tells gnuplot to store the datapoints
as x-y data. a log-axis only changes the representation of
a datapoint, it doesn't change values.

when there was a 'table' terminal (older gnuplot versions) one
could argue about whether the table should contain the x-y
data or the position of the datapoints in graph coordinates.

now there is no 'table' terminal anymore instead there is the
'table' mode making clear that the original x-y data are stored.

the pdfplots package anyway needs to know that some axis
is logarithmic. otherwise it wouldn't draw logarithmic axes.
so, if it knows about then it shouldn't be a big problem to
place the datapoints at the right position by applying some
log() function to the data.
