One more update, before heading to the bed.
I have managed to adjust my ticks to get what I was asking originally. See
the code at http://pastebin.com/XjkDZ486
1-) ax1.yaxis.set_minor_locator(ticker.LogLocator(subs=np.arange(2.0, 10.0))
)
with this line I can get the desired number of minor ticks at the correct
positions
2-) #ax1.xaxis.set_ticks(10.**np.arange(np.log10(xmin),np.log10(xmax)+1,1))
this line puts major at every decade but minors aren't printed correctly due
to striding at major ticks.
3-) To get this one working I needed to modify the code within the
ticker.LogLocator()
particularly the two lines starting at
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/ticker.py#L1311
decades = np.arange(math.floor(vmin),
math.ceil(vmax)+stride, stride)
edited to
decades = np.arange(math.floor(vmin),
math.ceil(vmax)+1, 1)
previously I was getting a major tick at every other decade. With this
change I get a major tick at every decade plus the minor ticks look nicer.
So my opinion is this stride should be parameter to the LogLocator(), so
based on what people wants to plot it can be easily adjusted.
Any comments/other solutions?
Thanks.
