[Matplotlib-users] wrong number of logarithmic minor ticks

[Steve W. <pla...@gm...>]

>From running the code below, I see only 8 subticks between the major
ticks.  But the documentation
<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_xscale>
says there should be 10.  I'm using matplotlib version 0.99.3.

#----------------------------
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
y = range(1, 4)
x = np.power(10, y)
plt.gca().set_xscale('log', basex=10, subsx=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
plt.gca().plot(x, y)
plt.show()
#----------------------------

However, even if 10 are being drawn, I think there would only be 9
subticks between the major ticks because the first subtick is on a
major tick.  Am I wrong?
