<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If I looked at the example in your book (English edition, 2011), most log examples are draw with subtick=10 whereas now on the website examples it is subtick=9. So for log plit, we have to do subtick rect-1.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Moreover subticks=10, … 20, … seems to draw incorrectly. By the way, in log graph setting subticksize=0 to cancel drawing has no effect.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For both kind of graphs, I have also a small trouble with (sub)tickwidth=0pt and (sub)ticklinestyle=none: the lines are still drawn.
