how to set y-axis as log scale?

7.141 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
I am plotting x-y plot using plot function. I want to set only y-axis as log scale and x-axis as linear? How to do that? I used loglog function but it scales both axis but I want only Y.

The best way to create that type of axes is to use the semilogy function. Alternatively, you can set the ‘YScale’ property on the axes:
set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')
***Update from Mathworks Support Team - September 2023***
As of R2023b, you can also use the 'yscale ' function.

The easiest way to do this is simply use the following command instead of plot
semilogy(x,y);
This will plot x axis on a linear scale and y axis on a log scale. Similarly, if you want to plot x axis on log scale and y axis on a linear scale, you can use
semilogx(x,y) ;

semilogy() is the first thing I mentioned in my answer in 2016.

Starting in R2023b, you can change the scale of any axis after you create the plot by calling the xscale, yscale, or zscale function.
For example, create a plot of two vectors x and y. Then set the scale of the y-axis to logarithmic.
x = 1:100;
y = x.^2;
plot(x,y)
grid on
yscale log
