Hi Mike,
This is definitely on the right track. Thanks a lot for writing it
out. When I change the view limits, indeed the width stays constant
while the height gets rescaled. However, when I try to change to a
logarithmic axis, I get the following errors. Again, excuse my
ignorance, but I am not sure where exactly the offense is and how to
fix it.
In [57]: ax.set_xscale('log')
In [58]: plt.draw()
ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input
