A base-10 log scale is used for the Y-axis of the bottom left graph, and the Y-axis ranges from 0.1 to 1000. The top right graph uses a log-10 scale for just the X-axis, and the bottom right graph uses a log-10 scale for both the X axis and the Y-axis. Presentation of data on a logarithmic scale can be helpful when the data:
A log–log plot of y = x (blue), y = x 2 (green), and y = x 3 (red). Note the logarithmic scale markings on each of the axes, and that the log x and log y axes (where the logarithms are 0) are where x and y themselves are 1. Comparison of linear, concave, and convex functions when plotted using a linear scale (left) or a log scale (right).
On a log–linear plot (logarithmic scale on the y-axis), pick some fixed point (x 0, F 0), where F 0 is shorthand for F(x 0), somewhere on the straight line in the above graph, and further some other arbitrary point (x 1, F 1) on the same graph.
The curve is a 2D chart with relative abundance on the Y-axis and the abundance rank on the X-axis. X-axis: The abundance rank. The most abundant species is given rank 1, the second most abundant is 2 and so on. Y-axis: The relative abundance. Usually measured on a log scale, this is a measure of a species abundance (e.g., the number of ...
xScaleType and yScaleType: scale types of the x and y axes, e.g. linear for linear scale (default), log for logarithmic scale and sqrt for square root scale. A logarithmic chart allows only positive values to be plotted. A square root scale chart cannot show negative values. x: the x-values as a comma-separated list, for dates and time see ...
When a real number like .007 is denoted alternatively by 7.0 × 10 —3 then it is said that the number is represented in scientific notation.More generally, to write a number in the form a × 10 b, where 1 <= a < 10 and b is an integer, is to express it in scientific notation, and a is called the significand or the mantissa, and b is its exponent.

A volcano plot is constructed by plotting the negative logarithm of the p value on the y axis (usually base 10). This results in data points with low p values (highly significant) appearing toward the top of the plot. The x axis is the logarithm of the fold change between the two conditions. The logarithm of the fold change is used so that ...
Zipf's law plot for the first 10 million words in 30 Wikipedias (as of October 2015) in a log-log scale In many texts in human languages, word frequencies approximately follow a Zipf distribution with exponent s close to 1; that is, the most common word occurs about n times the n -th most common one.
