matplotlib.axes.Axes.semilogy

Axes.semilogy(*args, **kwargs)

Make a plot with log scaling on the y axis.

Parameters:

basey : scalar > 1

Base of the y logarithm.

subsy
: None or iterable

The location of the minor yticks. None defaults to autosubs, which depend on the number of decades in the plot. See set_yscale() for details.

nonposy
: {‘mask’ | ‘clip’} str

Non-positive values in y can be masked as invalid, or clipped to a very small positive number.

Returns:

Line2D

Line instance of the plot.

Other Parameters:
 

kwargs : Line2D properties,

plot and matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_yscale arguments.
