problem with label if x/yscale are both log

Hello list,

in the small example below with xscale and yscale logarithmic I'm not able to
set the xlabel inside the axes initialisation. The error output is attached.
It doesn't happen if I use the pylab command 'xlabel' or set one of the
scalings to linear.

Is this a bug or do I miss anything?

Thanks in advance for any hints.

regards Matthias

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ax = plt.subplot(111, autoscale_on=False,
                 xscale="log", yscale="log",
                 xlim=(1, 10**4), ylim=(10**-4, 1),
                 xlabel="logx",
                 )
#plt.xlabel('logx')
plt.show()

output (2.89 KB)

Hello list,

may be the last message got lost among the lots of mpl-mails, but I really
want to know if anyone else can reproduce this behaviour and if this
behaviour is expected.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

I still get the same error with matplotlib
__version__ : '0.98.6svn'
__revision__ : 'Revision: 6887 '

best regards Matthias

yes I can exactly reproduce your error. Something is fishy with errorbar and log scales....

It seems there's some order dependence here. I have changed the Axes constructor so the scale is set before the labels, and this seems to resolve this bug.

Fixed in SVN r7016
