Choose a web site to get translated content where available and see local events and offers. Dieses konnen sie auch ohne internetverbindung lesen, oder sich teile davon. If any of your coordinates on the log scale are 0 or less, then those points will be ignored with xyzscale is log, and nothing will be drawn to those points in particular, no interpolation of the adjacent points towards the axis limit will be done.
