[Rivet] make-plots - possibility to have LogY also for ratio plots

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Antonin, all,

Apologies for the delayed response!
I've been thinking for a while that a log y-axis in the ratio plot would be a nice option. Unfortunately manpower is particualrly short on the plotting tools and so I can't promise anything concrete -- any chance that you could take a look and propose a patch? (I don't remember how much common functionality there is between the MainPlot and RatioPlot classes, but I think both use a YAxis drawing object, so maybe we just need to provide a config flag to activate the log mode...)
Thanks,
Andy
