mpl.axes.Axes.semilogy¶

Axes.semilogy(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Make a plot with log scaling on the y axis.

call signature:

semilogy(*args, **kwargs)

semilogy() supports all the keyword arguments of plot() and matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_yscale().

Notable keyword arguments:

basey: scalar > 1

Base of the y logarithm

subsy: [ None | sequence ]

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’ ]

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

The remaining valid kwargs are Line2D properties:
