This example showcases the rich SciChart iOS 3D Charts API that provides many different Axis types out of the box. One of the axis types is Logarithmic Axis, that is widely used in charts in wide range of iOS applications.

The LogarithmicNumericAxis3D is a Logarithmic Value-Axis and is suitable when the data on that axis is a Numeric value e.g. Double, Int, Long, Float.

You can read more about how to set different axis types in SciChart iOS 3D and other axis types in our documentation:
