After browsing the code, it appears that neither GD::Chart nor GD::Graph supports log axes. Indeed, there is a request for just this in the GD::Graph bug list. GD::Chart does not seem to have been updated for about five years; I wonder if it's no longer being worked on. One workaround would be to convert your (x,y) pairs to (x,log₁₀(y)), but this won't look quite the same as would plotting a logarithmic axis, like you would get plotting on semi-log paper.. Information about American English usage here and here. Floating point issues? Please read this before posting. — emc	[reply]

Have a look at Chart::Graph::Gnuplot, http://search.cpan.org/~caidaperl/Chart-Graph-3.2/Graph/Gnuplot.pm and see if it fits your needs.	[reply]

I am using Windows XP and was reading that GD::Chart::Gnuplot may not be suited for Windows machines. Am I right on that? or has bugs been fixed?	[reply]
