How can I make a NumberLineLogPlot'?












4












$begingroup$


I have a piecewise function that is defined in logarithmic intervals, i.e., the different pieces are defined on



{{1. <= x <= 10}, {10 <= x <= 100}, {100 <= x <= 1000}}


I'd like to visualize the different domains on a number line.
NumberLinePlot, of course, works, but it looks clumsy as the plot is fully dominated by the last domain an the first one is barely visible:



NumberLinePlot[{{1. <= x <= 10}, {10 <= x <= 100}, {100 <= x <= 1000}}, {x, 1, 1000}]


enter image description here



So I can use something along the lines of



NumberLinePlot[
{{Log[10, 1] <= x <= Log[10, 10]},
{Log[10, 10] <= x <= Log[10, 100]},
{Log[10, 100] <= x <= Log[10, 1000]}},
{x, Log[10, 1], Log[10, 1000]}]


which results in a much more pleasantly balanced plot:



enter image description here



However, now the number line ticks show the exponents — so in essence I'd like something like NumberLineLogPlot, but that doesn't exist.



I tried to recreate something like that by abusing LogLogPlot



Show[
MapThread[
LogLogPlot[#1, #2, PlotStyle -> #3] &,
{{1, 2, 4}, {x, #[[1, 1]], #[[1, 3]]} & /@ dx , {Red, Green, Blue}}],
PlotRange -> Automatic, Frame -> {{False, False}, {True, False}}]


Which leads to something like



enter image description here



which is better in terms of the logarithmic x-axis but is quite clumsy in other ways.



Any ideas how to implement a NumberLineLogPlot nicely?
