Right click on the plot. Select Axes and then Properties... Click on Vertical Axis and see if the options there will do what you want. Regards, Georgios Kokovidis Dräger Medical

tickmarks

Jean-Marc's suggestion is correct. You could achieve the same thing with: restart; plots[logplot](10^n, n = 1..4,tickmarks=[4,40]) It's possible to exercise a great deal of control over the scaling of the axes tickmarks and the labels that appear beside them. Please see ?plot/options, ?plot/tickmarks and ?plot/typesetting. Hope this helps. J. Tarr

Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestions J. Tarr and Jean-Marc. The example now does show all the tickmarks. Now I'll check to see if the tickmark labels could be specified (e.g. showing labels at major tickmarks only) in plot[options]. -Dan

Let Render / Choose TickMarks

Right click on the plot; in the contextual menu select "Axes" -> "Properties" -> "Vertical Axis", then _uncheck_ the option "Let render choose tickmarks" and click on the radio button to select either "Number of tickmarks" or "Custom spacing". In the example below, the second plot is drawn with "Number of tickmarks" set to 20.
