Hi Everyone,

I am plotting a normalised histogram (probability) & I want it on a semi-log scale, i.e, I want my X-axis to be logarthmic & I want my Yaxis to be linear as it is.

How can I have bins of equal widths in a logarthmic scale. In linear scale it is easy just specify the Bin widths & it will be equal but how do i do it in a Logarthmic scale? I am also attaching my code below.

Any Help will be much appreciated.

The histogram function has a parameter 'BinEdges' that will allow you to specify any bins you like. So, make whatever bin edges you like--e.g., on a log scale such as mybinedges = exp(1:5).
