# Specifying coordinates for Inset on a LogPlot

If I use Epilog->Inset within a Plot, the coordinates specified within that Inset match those of the plot's axis and scale:

Plot[y = 2 x, {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> Inset["Text", {3, 3}]]


Note that "Text" is placed at x=3, y=3. Different thing happens for when Inset is used within LogPlot:

LogPlot[y = x^x, {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> Inset["Text", {3, 3}]]


The coordinates are still (3,3) but "Text" is positioned at what appears to be (3,20) with respect to the on-axis coordinates.

What is it about and how do I counter it?

• True. This is because Log[20.]=2.99573227355399 You can either use Inset["Text", {3, Log[3]}] or I think using Scaled[] is better. I do not know of a way myself to have the scaling of outer coordinates be automatically reflected in the Epilog. You have to do it your self or using Scaled[] – Nasser Nov 10 '13 at 18:12
