Setting y limits in a log scale scatter plot

Hi

I am plotting a scatter plot where y axis has a log scale but in the graph the y axis always starts from 10 to the power -1 . I tried setting the limit with set_ylim() but i am not sure what value to give within this method since its a log scale . Is there a way i can start y axis from 10 to the power -0.25 .

Thanks

Dilpreet

The values for set_ylim() and set_xlim() are the raw data values. So, if
you want to start from 10**-0.25, you do:

ax.set_ylim(bottom=10**-0.25)

Do note that once you set the limits, the auto-detection of the limits turn
off. So, it is best to issue these sorts of commands after you finish
plotting all the data.
I hope that helps!
