Anything goes. But all the extra work!

You'd be better off drawing it on plain paper. Start by selecting a distance to represent each broad segment(1 - 10, 10 - 100, 100 - 1000...). The distance for each subdivision equals your broad segment distance multiplied by the log of each subdivision. If your broad segment distance is 4 inches, then the distance from 1 to 3 (or 10 to 30) equals 4 x log(3). BTW, use 3, not 30, to find the distance between 10 and 30. One interesting side, the distance from 1 to 2 will equal the distance from 2 to 4 and from 4 to 8. And the distance from 1 to 3 will equal the distance from 3 to 9.

Yes. You would have to compute the log of all the points you wanted to plot and then plot the log value instead. To plot the points correctly you would have to mark up the y axis with logs. Instead of writing y 1000 100 10 1 as you might on a log graph, you would write: log y 3 2 1 0
