I suppose I wasn't clear enough. For some purposes, I want to label the horizontal axis like the first label-line below. It separates the longer periods better even though it squashes the shorter ones. The real scale for the corresponding plotted data is the second label-line. The same-range linear-in-frequency horizontal scale would be the third label-line, giving the period reciprocal labeling in the fourth label-line.
