pyqt中具有matplotlib的loglog图-轴消失

Question

I am trying to use matplotlib plotting library inside PyQt4 to plot loglog plot. I have added two lines of code in the class:

class MyStaticMplCanvas(MyMplCanvas):
    """Simple canvas with a sine plot."""
        def compute_initial_figure(self):
            t = arange(0.0, 3.0, 0.01)
            s = abs((t * 1E+1) * sin(2 * pi * t) + 1E1)

            self.axes.plot(t, s)
            self.axes.set_yscale('log') #added code
            self.axes.set_xscale('log') #added code

but then axes disappeared and got an error below. I would like to ask you how can I use matplotlib library inside PyQt4 to plot loglot plot. As seen in the figure below. Python 2.7.5, matplotlib 1.3.0, PyQt 4.10.4

This is probably because your x-range includes 0 . True log scales can't reach 0. If you want to include 0, you'll need to use 'semilog' instead.

Judging from the error message you're getting, I'd bet you're using a fairly old release of matplotlib? For what it's worth, in newer versions, including 0 will cause the scale to be automatically changed to semilog instead of log .

Either way, try specifying a semilog scale, and see if that helps. Eg

self.axes.set(xscale='semilog', yscale='semilog')
