How to exponentially scale the Y axis with matplotlib?

To exponentially scale the Y-axis with matplotlib, we can take the following steps −

• Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
• Inintialize a variable dt for steps.
• Create x and y data points using numpy.
• Plot the x and y data points using numpy.
• Set the exponential scale for the Y-axis, using plt.yscale('symlog').
• To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True dt = 0.01 x = np.arange(-50.0, 50.0, dt) y = np.arange(0, 100.0, dt) plt.plot(x, y) plt.yscale('symlog') plt.show()

Output

It will produce the following output
