[R] lattice: how to use a log scale on the x-axis with the bwplot function

[Bert Gunter]

There can be **no log scale** for the x axis, only labels, if x is a factor
(Groups).

If what you mean is that there are no tick marks o the x-axis, they can be
added in my code in the scales list (for my reprex with 5 levels of group):

scales = list(
          alternating = 1  ## ticls only on bottom
        , y = list(log=T, tck = c(1,0))
        , x = list(at = 1:5, tck = 1)
        )

If this is not what you meant, you'll need to clarify ... or just move on.
