has gloss | eng: In science and engineering, a log-log graph or log-log plot is a two-dimensional graph of numerical data that uses logarithmic scales on both the horizontal and vertical axes. Because of the nonlinear scaling of the axes, a function of the form y=ax^b will appear as a straight line on a log-log graph, in which b will be the slope of the line (gradient) and a will be the y value corresponding to x=1. These graphs are useful when the parameters a and b need to be estimated from numerical data, and can also be used to estimate the fractal dimension of a naturally occurring fractal. These graphs are also extremely useful when data is gathered by varying the control variable along an exponential fashion. In this case, log-log graphing will yield a graph that shows the data points as evenly spaced, despite the compression of points at the low end. |

has gloss | dan: Dobbeltlogaritmisk papir er funktionspapir, hvor begge akserne er logaritmiske, så grafen for en potensfunktion bliver en ret linje. Man kan således se, om en funktion er en potensfunktion ved at tegne støttepunkter til grafen på dobbeltlogaritmisk papir. Jo nærmere punkterne ligger ved en ret linje, jo mere "potent" er funktionen. |

has gloss | nld: Dubbellogaritmisch papier is een hulpmiddel bij het tekenen van grafieken of diagrammen. Op het papier hebben beide assen een logaritmische schaalverdeling. Hierdoor kunnen met vergelijkbare precisie heel grote en heel kleine waarden langs de assen worden weergegeven. In de tegenwoordige tijd worden dergelijke grafieken en diagrammen meestal met behulp van een computer getekend. |
