Hello,
I tried to do a stem plot on an Axes with logarithmic scale, experiencing that the stemlines were not drawn...
====axes.py (svn trunk, 2008-07-08):
def stem(self, x, y, linefmt='b-', markerfmt='bo', basefmt='r-'):
[...]
stemlines = []
for thisx, thisy in zip(x, y):
l, = self.plot([thisx,thisx], [0, thisy], linefmt)
stemlines.append(l)
After Axes.set_yscale('log'), Axes.stem() no longer draws the stemlines because it tries to draw from y=0, thereby apparently triggering some guard which prevents plotting log(0), hence suppressing the complete stemline.
Dirty hacking, I replace [0, thisy] with [1, thisy] in case yscale=='log' and it works for my plots, but for sure there is more to do to make it robust...
Please give me a heads-up if I just oversaw the Right Way to do a stem plot with logarithmic yscale.
Cheers,
Dirk
This is a tricky one. It appears this bug also exists in 0.91.x, perhaps earlier as well, so it isn't a regression.
I don't like the idea of setting the minimum to "1", especially for when the scale isn't log. Setting it to a really small positive value (like 1e-9) is better, but the autoscaling of the log plot then goes down to 1e-9 as well.
Do any other developers have better suggestions? We may have to do some magic in at drawing time (or convince the autoscaler to ignore the stem lines) -- but I'd like to find a way that minimizes additional complexity.
Cheers,
Mike

Is it possible do proceed as using axvline, i.e. specifying the axes
coordinates? In this case, it would require a mix of data coordinate
(the value to display) and of axes coordinate (the bottom of the curve).
When would values to render be converted ?
