transform_non_affine(a)

class matplotlib.scale.LogScale(axis, **kwargs)

Bases: matplotlib.scale.ScaleBase

A standard logarithmic scale. Care is taken so non-positive values are not plotted.

For computational efficiency (to push as much as possible to Numpy C code in the common cases), this scale provides different transforms depending on the base of the logarithm:

• base 10 (Log10Transform)
• base 2 (Log2Transform)
• base e (NaturalLogTransform)
• arbitrary base (LogTransform)

basex/basey:

The base of the logarithm

nonposx/nonposy: [?mask? | ?clip? ]

non-positive values in x or y can be masked as invalid, or clipped to a very small positive number

subsx/subsy:

Where to place the subticks between each major tick. Should be a sequence of integers. For example, in a log10 scale: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

will place 8 logarithmically spaced minor ticks between each major tick.

nonpos: [?mask? | ?clip? ]

values beyond ]0, 1[ can be masked as invalid, or clipped to a number very close to 0 or 1

class matplotlib.scale.ScaleBase

Bases: object

The base class for all scales.

Scales are separable transformations, working on a single dimension.

Any subclasses will want to override:

• name
• get_transform()
• set_default_locators_and_formatters()

And optionally:

• limit_range_for_scale()

get_transform()

Return the Transform object associated with this scale.

limit_range_for_scale(vmin, vmax, minpos)

Returns the range vmin, vmax, possibly limited to the domain supported by this scale.

minpos should be the minimum positive value in the data.

This is used by log scales to determine a minimum value.

set_default_locators_and_formatters(axis)

Set the Locator and Formatter objects on the given axis to match this scale.

class matplotlib.scale.SymmetricalLogScale(axis, **kwargs)

Bases: matplotlib.scale.ScaleBase

The symmetrical logarithmic scale is logarithmic in both the positive and negative directions from the origin.

Since the values close to zero tend toward infinity, there is a need to have a range around zero that is linear. The parameter linthresh allows the user to specify the size of this range (-linthresh, linthresh).

basex/basey:

The base of the logarithm

linthreshx/linthreshy:

The range (-x, x) within which the plot is linear (to avoid having the plot go to infinity around zero).

subsx/subsy:

Where to place the subticks between each major tick. Should be a sequence of integers. For example, in a log10 scale: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

will place 8 logarithmically spaced minor ticks between each major tick.

linscalex/linscaley:

This allows the linear range (-linthresh to linthresh) to be stretched relative to the logarithmic range. Its value is the number of decades to use for each half of the linear range. For example, when linscale == 1.0 (the default), the space used for the positive and negative halves of the linear range will be equal to one decade in the logarithmic range.
