Creating SemiLog Plots

Can anyone tell me how to create a plot so that the x axis is log scale
and the y axis is Linear? I've tried LogPlot, but that seems to make
the Y axis Log, and can't figure out how to make it so the x axis is
log....Any help will be appreaciated....

Use the Graphics`Graphics`-defined function LogLinearPlot or
LogLinearListPlot, depeding on whether you're trying to plot a
continuous function or discrete data points.

For more information using version 2.2 of Mathematica. See documenation
at URL:

http://www.mathsource.com/MathSource/Enhancements/Graphics/2D/0200-507/Documentation.txt

Or if you're using the version 3.0 help browser, click on the AddOns
radio button and enter "Graphics`Graphics`" on the "Go To:" line.

The standard add-on package Graphics includes several types of semilog
plots, for example LogLinearPlot[ f, {x, xmin, xmax}]. Load the package
with <<Graphics`Graphics` and these become available.

LogPlot[] is linear-log
LogLinear[] is log-linear

Thanks everyone...I appreciate it. My documentation only listed LogPlot,
didn't have LogLinearPlot.....
