[Matplotlib-users] part way to log plots

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

I've done a partial implementation of log plots. The data is transformed 
and shows up, but I haven't yet implemented smart tick locations or tick 
labels.  (And I haven't checked the auto view setting abilities.)

I don't know how others feel, but I prefer my tick labels on log plots 
to say "10" and "100" rather than "10^1" and "10^2", so I'd vote for 
this as the default behavior for matplotlib. (At least for values < 1000 
or so.) I mention this because matlab seems to work the other way.

So, here's a patch to the various bits I changed, and a simple example 
that makes two plots.

John, you're welcome to include this in matplotlib as long as matplotlib 
remains under the current license.

Cheers!
Andrew
