In some cases matplotlib shows plot with errorbars errorneously when using logarithmic scale. Suppose these data (within pylab for example):
s=[19.0, 20.0, 21.0, 22.0, 24.0] v=[36.5, 66.814250000000001, 130.17750000000001, 498.57466666666664, 19.41] verr=[0.28999999999999998, 80.075044597909169, 71.322124839818571, 650.11015891565125, 0.02] errorbar(s,v,yerr=verr)
and I get a normal result but when I switch to logarithmic scale:
I get a plot in which some errorbars are not visible, although you can still see some of the error bar caps. (See below.) Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
