Axes in Igor Pro

SetAxis fixes a range, and the axis keywords decide how it reads.

Function ScaleAxes()
    SetAxis left, 0, 1.2
    SetAxis/A bottom

    ModifyGraph log(left)=1
    ModifyGraph nticks(bottom)=8, minor(bottom)=1

    Label left, "Current (\\U)"
    Label bottom, "Time (s)"

    ModifyGraph freePos(right)=0
    SetAxis/A/R right
End

How it works

1. SetAxis/A autoscales; passing two numbers pins the range.
2. ModifyGraph log(left)=1 makes one axis logarithmic.
3. Label writes the axis title, and takes Igor's escape codes.
