Dear Mathgrouper,
Please take a look at the attached graphics file (It is a LogLogPlot: it needs
Graphics`Graphics` to display).
The grid lines at the bottom, horizontally are wrong.
There are correctly grid lines at y=2. 10^-6 and 5. 10^-6.
I would expect two more grid lines at y=3. 10^-6 and y=4. 10^-6. Instead there is only a single
grid lines which turns out to be at y=3.5 10^-6.
This is mathematically correct, of course, but nevertheless it is very confusing
when showing this kind of plots to an engineering audience.
Is there a fix to allow for grid lines in a 2-3-4-5...or possibly a 2-5-10 sequence in a LogLogPlot?
Thank you,
Sergio Rescia
