Hi Frederic,
There's a real simple way IF 10^0 is your FIRST tickmark:

plot_oi,x,y,xtickname='1'

This replaces the first tickmark label only, IDL/PVWAVE
puts in the others.

Where 10^0 is NOT the first ticklabel, make a string array containing
the real labels:

my_ticklabels=['10!U-6!N','10!U-5!N',.....etc]
plot_oi,x,y,xtickname=my_ticklabels

(or the variant to plot with log x-axis--> plot,/xlog ...,/ylog etc.)
