Dear Luigi,

This may be what you want:


data = {{10^(-6), 72}, {10^(-5), 60}, {10^(-4), 45}, {10^(-3),
     31}, {10^(-2), 33}, {10^(-1), 32}};

ListLogLinearPlot[data, Frame ->  True,
  FrameTicks ->  {Table[{10^-n,
      ScientificForm[1.*10^(-n), NumberFormat ->  (10^#3&)]}, {n, 6}],
    Automatic, Automatic, None}, PlotRange ->  {0, 100}]


Alternatively you may want this:


ListLogLinearPlot[data, Frame ->  True,
  FrameTicks ->  {Table[{10^-n,
      ScientificForm[1.*10^(-n), NumberFormat ->  (10^#3&)]}, {n, 6}],
    None, Automatic}, PlotRange ->  {0, 100}]


But do not ask my, why.

Have fun, Alexei







Dear all,
  I would like to plot my data with the option Frame->True and use a
scientific number format for the x-axis.
This is what I have got:


data = {{10^(-6), 72}, {10^(-5), 60}, {10^(-4), 45}, {10^(-3),
     31}, {10^(-2), 33}, {10^(-1), 32}};

ListLogLinearPlot[data, Frame ->  True,
  FrameTicks ->  {Table[{10^-n,
      ScientificForm[1.*10^(-n), NumberFormat ->  (10^#3&)]}, {n, 6}],
    Automatic}, PlotRange ->  {0, 100}]

However, I would like to have the numbers only on the bottom x-axis. I
cannot do it without messing up the number format.
Any help?

Thanks, L
