How to produce an exponentially scaled axis?

Question

Consider the following code:

from numpy import log2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

xdata = [log2(x)*(10/log2(10)) for x in range(1,11)]
ydata = range(10)
p         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way is to use semilogy

from numpy import log2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

xdata = log2(range(1,11)) * (10/log2(10))
ydata = range(10)
plt.semilogy(xdata, ydata)
plt.show()
