I suggest using masked arrays to ensure you are only trying to plot real numbers:
def f(x): y = log(x) ygood = (y < 1e38) & (y > -1e-38) yy = nx.ma.masked_where(ygood == 0, y) return yy Note the parentheses and peculiar use of bitwise-and in the definition of ygood. This is a hack to get around the fact that the logical-and operator in python cannot be overloaded at present, and so is not available in numpy.
