 Log scaling may be set on the x, y, z, x2 and/or y2 axes.

 Syntax:
       set logscale <axes> <base>
       set nologscale <axes>
       show logscale

 where <axes> may be any combinations of `x`, `y`, and `z`, in any order, or
 `x2` or `y2` and where <base> is the base of the log scaling.  If <base> is
 not given, then 10 is assumed.  If <axes> is not given, then all axes are
 assumed.  `set nologscale` turns off log scaling for the specified axes.

 Examples:

 To enable log scaling in both x and z axes:
       set logscale xz

 To enable scaling log base 2 of the y axis:
       set logscale y 2

 To disable z axis log scaling:
       set nologscale z
