##### Annotation: log tick marks

This annotation adds log tick marks with diminishing spacing. These tick marks probably make sense only for base 10.

##### Usage
annotation_logticks(base = 10, sides = "bl", scaled = TRUE, short = unit(0.1, "cm"), mid = unit(0.2, "cm"), long = unit(0.3, "cm"), colour = "black", size = 0.5, linetype = 1, alpha = 1, color = NULL, ...)
##### Arguments
base
the base of the log (default 10)
sides
a string that controls which sides of the plot the log ticks appear on. It can be set to a string containing any of "trbl", for top, right, bottom, and left.
scaled
is the data already log-scaled? This should be TRUE (default) when the data is already transformed with log10() or when using scale_y_log10. It should be FALSE when using coord_trans(y = "log10").
short
a unit object specifying the length of the short tick marks
mid
a unit object specifying the length of the middle tick marks. In base 10, these are the "5" ticks.
long
a unit object specifying the length of the long tick marks. In base 10, these are the "1" (or "10") ticks.
colour
Colour of the tick marks.
size
Thickness of tick marks, in mm.
linetype
Linetype of tick marks (solid, dashed, etc.)
alpha
The transparency of the tick marks.
color
An alias for colour.
...
Other parameters passed on to the layer

scale_y_continuous, scale_y_log10 for log scale transformations.

coord_trans for log coordinate transformations.
