    //    This element (JKQTPGeoText) is taken from the set of geometric elements
    //    and is simply parametrized by a position (1.25/10) and the text to display.
    //    In addition you can also set the font size (here to 15)
    //    Use '$...$' around the actual math string to ensure rendering with a math font
    //    (the internal renderer uses XITS fonts by default, which are free and auto-distributed
    //    and loaded in the library). If you don't use the math-mode modifiers, the default
    //    font of the other rendering text is used, which might not be suitable for
    //    high-quality math rendering.

    // 5. set y-axis to logarithmic (x-axis would be analogous, but using `plot.getXAxis()`)
    plot.getYAxis()->setLogAxis(true);
    //    now we set the number of label ticks to 9 (you give the count if minor between two majors,
    //    so if you want ticks for 1,2,3,...,10,20,30,...,100... you need to use 9:
    plot.getYAxis()->setMinorTicks(9);
    //    the minor grid is not shown by default. You can switch it on:
    plot.getYAxis()->setDrawMinorGrid(true);
    //    usually axis ticks are shown as numbers 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, ... You can also force the scientific
    //    power-of-10 notation, using:
    plot.getYAxis()->setLabelType(JKQTPCALTexponent);
    //    the number of digits in JKQTPCALTexponent determines which labels are drawn in standard-notation,
    //    as compared to power-notation (e.g. if set to 1, the labels 0.1=10^{-1}, 1, 10 are shown in
    //    standard notation, the rest in power-notation. This tweak improves readability)
    plot.getYAxis()->setLabelDigits(0);
    // minor tick labels are usually not displayed, but you can switch them on, using
    //plot.getYAxis()->setMinorTickLabelsEnabled(true);
    // the axis font sizes can be set with:
    plot.getYAxis()->setTickLabelFontSize(10); // axis tick labels
    plot.getYAxis()->setMinorTickLabelFontSize(7); // minor axis tick labels
    plot.getYAxis()->setLabelFontSize(14); // axis label size
    plot.getXAxis()->setTickLabelFontSize(10); // axis tick labels
    plot.getXAxis()->setMinorTickLabelFontSize(7); // minor axis tick labels
    plot.getXAxis()->setLabelFontSize(14); // axis label size
    //    ... and finally set axis labels (using LaTeX notation and $...$ to improve rendering)
    plot.getYAxis()->setAxisLabel("Amplitude $A/A_{stat}$");
    plot.getXAxis()->setAxisLabel("relative driving frequency $\\eta=\\omega/\\omega_0$");


    // 6. autoscale the plot so the graph is contained
    plot.zoomToFit();

    // 7. show plotter and make it a decent size
