I believe I have made the appropiate changes to the last part of the article. I haven't altered the actual content, only the writing style. I have taken out references like I and you and replaced it with adequate substitutes, I would hope the writer could check to make sure I haven't done anything wrong though.

I just cleaned up the last part of the article further in the interest of readability, spelling and grammar. I've rearranged a few sentences to be ore concise, and adjusted the maths and layout so that it's all easier to follow. TaintedCherub 14:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
The example given for accurate determination of values on a logarithmic axis ie, (10^0.5)*10 would be more clear if it used a number whose nearest decade line with lower value is not 10. For instance, if the example were
Example: What is the value that lies halfway between the 1 and 10 decades on a logarithmic axis? Since it is the halfway point that is of interest, the quotient of steps 1 and 2 is 0.5. The nearest decade line with lower value is 1, so the halfway point's value is (10^0.5)*1.
there would be no confusing of the exponent base and the next lower decade line 24.6.96.96 14:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Miles Libbey
if its possible i think a blank logarithmic and half-logarithmic pages would have been nice add to the bottom of the article, can be very handy to some.
I've added a major section on Logarithmic and Semi-Logarithmic Plots and Equations of Lines. The discussion and examples are from text I've developed and used a great deal in my own work and that I think further ellucidates graphing on logarithmic scales. Odarren 09:11 14 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] help please!
It would be great if someone could make this page more accessible to non-mathematically oriented persons by explaining in layman's terms how to calculate log points and adding a table with the correspondence between log points and percentages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.103.142.186 (talk) 19:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
