Converting Matplotlib axis to log only updates labels and not step spacing-CodePudding

I am trying to scale the space on the vertical axis here so it is spaced logarithmically.

After searching the internet the proposed solution was

ax.set_zscale('log')

After trying that you can see the result below that only the labels where changed and not the actual spacings.

CodePudding user response：

The axis scale type to apply. 3D axes currently only support linear scales; other scales yield nonsensical results.

So, the other option is just to take the log of your input z-axis values and label the axis accordingly, e.g.,

import numpy as np

ax.scatter(x, y, np.log10(z))

ax.set_zlabel("log10(GDP Per Capita)")
