Labels for log scale axis are not readable at all

[Shimuuar]

It's not the worst example but it's bad enough:

Counting nines is not pleasant and if we go above/below 10^±15 labels could easily eat half of the plot. And whole 1+9999 thing looks very strange

Oh, so this is actually pretty old. The example at https://github.com/timbod7/haskell-chart/wiki/example-4 has proper labels, after that the function showDs was introduced in 2016 which switches to offsets when there are duplicate tick values. The question is however why do we get duplicate tick values - this also leads to having 1 minor tick per interval instead of 9.

Turns out it's unrelated after all - the minor ticks are generated by a heuristic, and the label issue can be just solved by nubbing the outputs of logTicks.
