I think most agree that the axis scaling is logarithmic. I think the ide
is that y=x**k has a slope of k when logs are taken, but that people are
interested in the original variable magnitudes. So for example if I have
log10 values 1 2 3 4 5 the scientist wants to see the linear relation,
but also needs to know that the original values were around 10, 100,
1000 etc. At present we don't have a log axis, but that would be a
useful contribution.
