Re: logarithmic steps in for

[Lorenzo]

Just a question which maybe can turn to be useful to Nacho and to anyone 
interested.

I usually prefer to LOGSPACE the form

        base .^ [usual linear range]

or
        base .^ linspace

This is exactly what LOGSPACE does (except for controlling input values), but 
it allows base != 10 and in my opinion gives you better understanding of what 
you are doing.

Which are the drawbacks against doing this?

Lorenzo

BTW. Probably Ignacio wanted 70 steps (10 in each group...), so:

        logspace(-5,2,70)

or

        10.^[ -5 : .1 : 2 ]
