[ROOT] Plotting log axis over linear histogram

Hi,

I'd like show a 2-D histogram which has been booked using a linear scale
(which corresponds to log10() of the variable I'm interested in) using a
log scale on a plot. Here's my try:

TH2F a("a", "a", 40,   -4,   -1, 40,   -4,   -1); // Contains my data
TH2F b("b", "b",  1, 1e-4, 1e-1,  1, 1e-4, 1e-1); // Used for axis
TCanvas* c1 = new TCanvas("c1","c1");
c1->SetLogx()
c1->SetLogy()
b.Draw();       // To draw the axes using log format
c1->SetLogx(0)
c1->SetLogy(0)
a.Draw("SAME"); // To draw the histogram, but redraws the frame!

This closely follows what I know works in PAW:

2d 100 'a' 40 -4 -1 40 -4 -1
opt logx
opt logy
null 1e-4 1e-1 1e-4 1e-1
opt linx
opt liny
h/pl 100 s

I've tried a few things using TAxis but haven't hit on the right
combination.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark
