[Matplotlib-users] that log axes question again

[Andrew S. <as...@in...>]

Sorry to ask for the Nth time, but as essentially all of my plots 
require at least one log10 axis and as matplotlib looks better and 
better, I'm wondering about the status of log axes.

This has even brought me to the point of delving into the innards of 
matplotlib just to see how easy (or hard) it would be. So far, it looks 
possibly like overriding the various Artist.transform_*() methods and 
some additions to axes.py. Is this the case? Would I be duplicating 
effort if I jumped in at this point?  I can't tell at this point how 
much work it looks to be -- any estimation?

As a mostly-trivial side-note, while looking through axes.py, I saw a 
few lines like:

         try: ticks.shape
         except AttributeError: ticks = array(ticks)

However, I think "ticks = asarray(ticks)" would be cleaner, and probably 
  little faster, too.

Cheers!
