Luigi, some things that you think should be simple are in fact hard in Mathematica. Below is an example you can adapt to your own problem. This code would be called with an example like: FrameTicks -> {tickFunction[0, 500, "Style" -> Integer],  tickFunction[0, 6, "Style" -> Decimal], {}, {}}:

In[1]:= Options[tickFunction] = {"Style" -> Automatic}

Out[1]= {"Style" -> Automatic}

In[2]:= Options[tickLabelStyleFunction] = {"Style" -> Automatic}

Out[2]= {"Style" -> Automatic}

In[3]:= tickLabelStyleFunction[value : _,   opts : OptionsPattern[]] :=

 
 Switch[
  OptionValue["Style"],
  
  Automatic,
  value,
  
  Integer,
  IntegerPart[value],
  
  Decimal,
  NumberForm[value, {2, 1}]
  ]

In[4]:= tickFunction[start : _, stop : _, opts : OptionsPattern[]] :=

 
 Map[
  
  Function[
   value,
   {value,
    tickLabelStyleFunction[value, 
     FilterRules[{opts}, Options[tickLabelStyleFunction]]],
    {0, 0.02},
    {Directive[Thickness[0.005]]}
    }
   ],
  
  N@FindDivisions[{start, stop}, 5]
  ]

Dear all,
 I have the problem of adding ticks to a ListLogLinearPlot.
I use the code:

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,
-1,6}],
    Automatic, Automatic, None}, PlotRange ->  {0, 100}]


this works well as long as the mantissa of the tick is different than
0. However, when this happens it does not work any more.

Could you pls help me out? Or suggest another code to do the same?

Thanks, Luigi
