Mathematica: Plot a vector NOT against the component number

[faradayslaw]

Hi,

I wish to listplot a list object against a scale that is NOT the component number of the vector, but is actually a well defined function of the component number, and I am lost how to do this?

changing "Ticks" didn't help, or I did it wrong, so I am wondering if anyone knows how to do this.

Thanks

Construct your substitute for the "component number" and transpose to put it in position

Example:

mylist = {1, 2, 7, 4};
myf[n_] = n^2;
myscale = Map[myf, Range[Length[mylist]]];
myresult = Transpose[{myscale, mylist}];
ListPlot[myresult, PlotJoined -> True, AxesOrigin -> 0]
