Nice coincidence, I was also playing with this idea back in April. http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/pierre-haessig/7e3e6a818edeb6819708 I was actually wondering whether this could interest other people in other fields... best, Pierre > It is > useful when one has frequencies in a population (i.e. floats between 0 > and 1) and both rare events and very common ones are interesting. > > For instance, say you ask about the fraction of people with blue eyes in > various world populations, you want to spot even tiny deviations from > zero or one. > > I have coded a scale according to matplotlib's documentation and it > works well, so I was wondering whether you are interested into merging > it into the the main repository.
