Hi Jean-Marc , I think there is a slight error in your comments. I have corrected them here: ListPlot[data] (*regular x,regular y*) ListLogPlot[data] (*regular x, log y*) ListLogLinearPlot[data] (*log x, regular y*) ListLogLogPlot[data] (*log x,log y*) Greetings, Drago "Jean-Marc Gulliet" <jeanmarc.gulliet at gmail.com> wrote in message news:gn11hj$82r$1 at smc.vnet.net... > In article <gmu8ma$ghu$1 at smc.vnet.net>, > Ben Casey <ben.a.casey at gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, I could use some help.
