The only difference the base would make would be the required adjustment of the ticks. Any base would result in an identical plot; so use the default. Partition[Plot[Log[#, x], {x, .1, 1}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, Epilog -> Text[Style["base = " <> ToString[#], 14], {.7, Log[#, .2]}]] & /@ {E, Pi, 10, RandomReal[{2, 500}]}, 2] // Grid Bob Hanlon ---- "Nasser M.

Looking at the doc, I can't see it. No option to change the base. I can ofcourse build my own data, and use ListPlot, but LogLogPlot handles the ticks better automatically and it samples better. Same question applies for LogPlot, LogLinearPlot, ListLogPlot, ListLogLinearPlot, etc... I am sure this is hidden somewhere in the documentation :) Version 7.0 thanks, --Nasser
