The following code fails with a math range error:
from pylab import *
plot(arange(5), 'ro')
xscale('symlog')
The traceback indicates that the ticker is attempting to treat vmin
(which falls inside the "linear" portion of the SymLog scale) as a log
value, which obviously fails when vmin=0. If vmin is less than zero,
then everything works fine. For example the following works.
from pylab import *
plot(arange(-1,5) ,'ro')
xscale('symlog')
Traceback for the first example is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
