I'll be happy to add it -- how about sending a version?

setting the xscale and yscale to 'log' should work fine, as long as
you make sure the xaxis and yaxis do not contain nonpositive limits.
For an MxN image, the default limits are 0..N-1 and 0..M-1 and the 0
will break the log transform. You can work around this by setting the
image "extent"
from pylab import figure, show, nx
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
im = nx.mlab.rand(500,500)
ax.imshow(im, extent=(1,501,1,501))
ax.set_xscale('log')
ax.set_yscale('log')
show()
Hope this helps,
