Not sure if I understand the question, however, log and semi-log scales (not
sure of the exact distinction other than terminology from one charting
product to another) displays price relationships such that each 100%
increase will occupy the same vertical space as the previous 100% increase.
Thus: 0-1000 and 1000-10,000 would occupy the same vertical space. It is
important to use such scaling when working with price series which display
large changes in price.
