Description Markus KARG 2024-08-06 20:32:27 UTC 
Description:
LibreOffice is able to compute logarithmic axis scaling.

At the moment, the base is always 10.

For some use cases, it would come handy if the user could customize the base of the logarithmic axis scaling, e. g. 2.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open dialog to format axis.
Open tab "scaling".
Set "base" to 2.

Actual Results:
There is no "base" field, but base is statically 10, hence axis scaling is 10, 100, 1000, 10000 etc.

Expected Results:
Can set "base" to 2, hence axis scaling should be 2, 4, 8, 16, ...


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Initially, Excel uses base 10 logarithmic scaling. But the scaling can be changed by entering some other value into the Logarithmic Scale Base box.
