2D Graph Scaling

I wrote a code that would calculate the estimated error when using a corresponding step size number and then plot it in a graph. Everything in it is working fine except for the scaling of the graph.

The values as large as 10 units and get as small as 10^-16 so I am trying to scale the graph in a way that I would be able to see al the data withought the need to zoom in to see the very tiny values. I don't need great accuracy in the graph. It would be amazing if the axis jump from 1*10^0, 1*10^-1, 1*10^-2, 1*10^-3,...etc..., 1*10^-15, 1*10^-16.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!

Look at

semilogy

I don't see why you can't just use semilogy() or loglog() to do the plot.

If you're otherwise using some other type of plot, you should be able to set the 'YScale' or 'XScale' property of the axes to 'logarithmic' instead of 'linear'.

loglog() was exactly what I needed!

Thank you!!
