[Matplotlib-users] problem with label if x/yscale are both log

2009-03-03 Thread Matthias Michler
Hello list, in the small example below with xscale and yscale logarithmic I'm not able to set the xlabel inside the axes initialisation. The error output is attached. It doesn't happen if I use the pylab command 'xlabel' or set one of the scalings to linear. Is this a bug or do I miss anything
