Hi Angelo,

in "logscale z", z is the value one is interested in and is plotted in
logarithmic (base 10) scale. If "logscale" is unset, then it is the linear
scale.
In your case, z corresponds to the values of dose and activity.

I remember myself having this problem of "data disappearance" when plotted
in log scale. After discussing with Vasilis, it was learnt that the problem
was with the version of gnuplot used (because flair uses gnuplot). Recent
versions of gnuplot has changed the way it used to handle log(zero), hence
the "data disappearance" problem.

There are atleast two solutions wrt to flair if one does not wish the data
to disappear:
1) Be happy with the linear scale :)
2) use older version of gnuplot (e.g. gnuplot 4.4 patchlevel 2) or
find/wait for the newer version of gnuplot which has resolved the problem.

Cheers,
-Nikhil
