Definition:Logarithmic Graph Paper

Definition

Logarithmic graph paper is graph paper in which both coordinate axes are marked with a logarithmic scale.

Example

This is an example of graph paper that can be used for presenting graphs of functions of the form $y = a x^n$:

Also known as

Logarithmic graph paper is also known as log-log graph paper, reflecting the fact that both coordinate axes use a logarithmic scale.

Hence note that logarithmic graph paper would then be used for what on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ is defined as semilogarithmic graph paper.
