5.1 Non-map Projections

The linear projection comes in three flavors: linear, log$_{10}$, and power (or exponential). The projection for the y-axis can be set independently from the x-axis. We will show examples of all three by first creating dummy data sets using gmtmath, a ``Reverse Polish Notation'' (RPN) calculator that operates on or creates table data:
