The first bracket is the range on the x axis and the second sets the corresponding y range to auto. Since our data are plotted on a log log scale, we fit a straight line using \\mbox log x \ as the independent variable and \\mbox log y\ as the dependent variable. If the given coordinate resides in a logarithmic axis the value is interpreted as factor. It plots the data the way it should and places the x values.
However, if the axes hold state is on before you call loglog, those properties do not change, and the plot might display on a linear or semilog scale. The top right graph uses a log 10 scale for just the x axis, and the bottom right graph uses a log 10 scale for both the x axis and the y axis.
