Hi,
oops! Typo on my side. The examples should read:
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 10^-3, 10^5}, Ticks -> logtic]
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 10^-3, 10^15}, Ticks -> logtic]
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 10^-3, 10^35}, Ticks -> logtic]
since i named the function logtic :)
On side remark: The function is not working well if the min and max values are
less thansay a few dex apart, e.g. compare:
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 100, 700}, Ticks -> logtic]
(* with standard tic function *)
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 100, 700}, Ticks -> Automatic]
My function reasonably places the subticks, but fails in labeling so
you get a plot with
nice but meaningless ticks. The standard labeling algorithm is better
here, but still
fails in placing the sub(sub)ticks. I will try to improve it, but feel
free to send me your ideas.
On the strange uneven tick lengths:

That's true and this is like it is supposed to be, because I use the
exact same
tick lengths like the standard LogPlot, This seems to be a rendering
problem,
not a problem of the Graphics Primitives.

I can't find that tic is defined anywhere, certainly in the main Module.=
Could you please give me some idea of how this works? Thanks, Rob
