How do I make the radius logarithmic with axisartist?

Hi, everyone.

Let me explain what I wanted to do: First, I wanted to make a polar
plot with angles from 0 to 90. I could do it by adopting the
curvelinear grid demo ( http://goo.gl/kruXf ). And then I wanted to
present the radius in log10 scale. But setting the plot command to
semilogy or trying to set 'set_rscale('log')' all failed. Below I
pasted the code that works for radius in linear scale.

The Axes class of the axisartist toolkit uses very different way to
handle ticks and tick labels. Thus most of the tick-related commands
of original matplotlib do not work!

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to support a logarithmic scale.

To utilize the full functionality, you need to create a transform
object and provide an appropriate tick locator. The first part is easy
but the second part is not. You can use origial mapltolib's tick
locator, but it has a limitation that minor ticks are not well
supported.

The easiest way is to convert your data to log scale and use a fixed
locator with a custom formatter. An example script is attached.

The better approach is to create your own locator and formatter.
