Log mode of y-axis only goes to 10^-6?

How do I ...? with Maple

I'm trying to plot a function whose value ranges from ~10^-10 to >1. Using plot with [mode=log] for the y-axis, I find that values below 10^-6 are not displayed. I couldn't find any mention in the help file about this. Is this a hard limit in Maple10?

I realize I can use logplot for this function, as well.

That does seem to be a limitation of the plot renderer in Maple 10 (Standard), but not in Maple 11. Compare the following plots, both results of

plot(exp(x), x=-20..0, axis[2]=[mode=log]);

(Maple 10)

(Maple 11)

The actual plot structures are essentially identical.

Thanks very much for the quick follow-up. Guess I should pony-up the money to upgrade :-)
