What is the preferred method to do the equivalent of plot_date
with log scaling for the non-date values?

Thanks,

Hi Alan,

What about using 'plot_date' ans scaling the y-axis by hand?
In the example 'date_demo1.py' you would have to change
-ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
to:
+ax = fig.add_subplot(111, yscale='log')

or for any other generated axes 'ax'
ax.set_yscale('log')

Does this help you?

Kind regards,
Matthias

Somehow I was unaware of this possibility.
Excellent!
