Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"] Hi, I noticed that it is very easy to misinterpret the results of the LogLinearPlot command from the Graphics.m package. For example: LogLinearPlot[ArcTan[w],{w,.001,1000},PlotRange->{{0.001,1000},{0,Pi/2}}] will produce a smooth but incorrect graph. You can tell by trying: LogLinearPlot[ArcTan[w/1],{w,.001,1000},PlotPoints->500, PlotRange->{{0.001,1000},{0,Pi/2}}] it looks like LogLinearPlot is very silly. 500 points is not an efficient way to do the graph. Any comments? Is out there a *good* package for log plots?
