Definition:Semilogarithmic Graph Paper

Definition

Semilogarithmic graph paper is graph paper in which one, but not 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 $y = a^x$:

Also known as

Semilogarithmic graph paper is also known as logarithmic graph paper.

Hence note that what on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ is defined as logarithmic graph paper would then be referred to as log-log graph paper.
