I have some data I'm plotting like this:

g <- ggplot(datapile, aes(x = Re, y = CD))
g <- g + geom_line(data = datapile, linetype = "solid", size = 1)
g <- g + scale_y_continuous(trans='log10', limits = c(0.01, 400), n.breaks = 20)
g <- g + scale_x_continuous(trans='log10', limits = c(0.02, 1e7), n.breaks = 20)
g <- g + ylab(expression(Drag~Coefficient*","~C[D]))
g <- g + xlab(expression(Reynolds~Number*","~frac(rho~V~d, mu)))
g

It looks fine, but I'd like the numbers on the axis to appear like they do in this picture:

Anyone know this offhand?

• You mean specifically the x-axis? (Seems tricky ...) – Ben Bolker Commented Nov 21, 2024 at 1:09
