[ncl-talk] axis labeling problem

[Mary Haley]

The tmXBValues and tmXBLabels resources are only for changing the labels on
the X axis.

If you actually want to change the values on the X axis to be log, then
instead of:

  res at tmXBOn       = True
  res at tmXBLabelsOn = True
  res at tmXBMode   = "Explicit"
  res at tmXBValues = spec17 at frq
  res at tmXBLabels = fspan(0,0.5,0.1)
  bot_plot(0)  = gsn_csm_xy(wks,log(spec17 at frq),splt17,res)

try:

  res at xyXStyle        = "Log"

  bot_plot(0)  = gsn_csm_xy(wks,spec17 at frq,splt17,res)
