So far I could use them only to make equidistant ticks. The current AxisScale will not support unevenly spaced tick marks. Logarithmic axes are on my list of things to do, but finding the time is not even on my radar screen. It will involve changes to ScalarMap and Display (for new display types). Anyone else who wants to tackle this is welcome to. Don ************************************************************* Don Murray UCAR Unidata Program dmurray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx P.O.
