Hi,
I very much miss the 'l' shortcut for toggling log/lin y-scale in the
trunk! I use it a lot.
I suggest restoring it with something like
if self.get_yscale() is ("log" or "linear"):
self.toggle_log_lineary()
else: pass
I think most of time most people use log or linear scales.
The new hist() function looks really good, I especially welcome the "step"
mode. A couple of comments:
The latest svn incarnation doesn't allow for log scale in step-mode
(unless you set it manually).
Also, I think the step-mode should have fill=False as default, otherwise
it does not look that much different from bar-mode. The nice thing about
step histograms is that you can put several of them in the same plot while
keeping it intelligible!
Cheers,
/Olle

This seems reasonable, but when I tried to implement it it looked like
the nan mask for the simple_plot.py example was sticky, eg when I
toggled back to linear the negative values were still masked. I tried
a simpler example still (all positive y data) and got something very
strange: the plotted y values appear to change on a toggle from log
and back to linear:
In [18]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
In [19]: plt.close('all')
In [20]: ax = plt.subplot(111)
In [21]: ax.plot(np.random.rand(20))
Out[21]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x123082f0>]
In [22]: ax.set_yscale('linear'); ax.figure.canvas.draw()
In [23]: ax.set_yscale('log'); ax.figure.canvas.draw()
In [24]: ax.set_yscale('linear'); ax.figure.canvas.draw() # the y
data are now plotted differently
I am not sure what is going on yet, but I'm sure Michael will chime in
since I think we are seeing some funkiness in the new transforms and
path infrastructure.

Manuel is the developer behind these nice new changes to hist --
hopefully he can help you here.

Should be working now on the trunk. The line transformation wasn't
getting invalidated when the scale changed.
Cheers,
Mike

log-scale support for step-histograms is done now on the trunk.
