[R] Plotting log-axis with the exponential base to a plot with the default logarithm base 10

[Xianwen Chen]

Dear Elisabeth,

    log(X) shall return logarithm of X, with the base of e.

    If you are not sure, you can specify e to be the base, e.g.:
        log(X,exp(1))
.

    Snow in Tromsø is melting, so will your problem.

                                                    King regards,

                                                    Xianwen
