I have the following code to create a bar plot:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
from matplotlib.mlab import csv2rec
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.dates as mdates
from pylab import *
from datetime import datetime
import dateutil
import sys
import matplotlib.ticker as mticker

y = []                                                                                                    

input = open(sys.argv[1], 'r')                                                                                                                                          

data = csv2rec(input, names=['date', 'symbol', 'count'])                      

for item in data['count']:
        y.append(item)

time_vec = [datetime.strptime(str(x),'%Y%m%d') for x in data['date']]

rcParams['figure.figsize'] = 18, 7
rcParams['font.size'] = 8

N = len(y)

ind = range(N)

fig = plt.figure()                              # Setup the figure

ax = fig.add_subplot(111)                       # Setup the subplot
ax.bar(ind, y, align='center')                  # Setup the Y Bars

ax.set_ylabel('Counts') 

ax.set_title('Collected By Day')               

ax.set_xticks(ind)
ax.set_xticklabels(time_vec)
ax.grid()                                      

fig.autofmt_xdate(bottom=0.2, rotation=90, ha='left')

plt.yscale('log')

plt.savefig(str(sys.argv[1] + ".png"))

This creates the following graph:

If I remove the "plt.yscale('log')" line then I get full bars. However because I want to add other lines I really need this to have a logarithmic y scale. Based on some searching I believe this is a bug in pyplot however I can't seem to find a resolution. Does anyone know how to get a logarithmic bar plot to actually show the bars?

bar函数有一个log参数，在使用对数标度时需要设置为true： http ： //matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.bar
