Dear Dr. Herbert Voss:
Caution, I am a novice in PSTricks with and/or without your -add package
which appears to be very novice-friendly. I had been playing with a log-ln
graph example you had presented underthe name " doppellog.tex" As I
play with this example and succeeded in producing an .eps out of it, I
found something surprising. The y-axis in your example .pdf as well as in
my .dvi, .ps and .eps output files seems to be seriously wrong. The length
of the y-axis between successive units in a log or ln cycle should become
progressively smaller as we go from 1, 2, 3, .... 9, 10. The distance between
1 and 2 is larger than that between 2 and 3, etc. so that in ten steps,
10^(-n) becomes 10^(-[n-1]). The scale in the figure resulting from the doppellog
example code implies that 10 times 10^(-n) = 10^(-[n+1]), which is obviously
wrong.
Can you point to me where in the program is the mistake? Or, is it that I am
altogether in the far-left-field?
Sincerely, Murty Kanury
