If I change the xscale/yscale to log with the binning as set up now, then it will try to scale the log values logarithmically. So I still want the axes to be scaled in the same way, I just want the labeling of the axes to be different.

I'm making a 2D histogram, using hist2d of course. The thing is that for my case, where I'm plotting the density vs. pressure for results from a hydro run, it makes more sense to use the log of the quantities as the inputs for hist2d. So then I need to give the log of the density and pressure to hist2d. This works fine for making the histogram, but then the axes are labelled with log10(n), log10(P). I'd prefer to have the axes labelled as for a logarithmic plot, so instead of say 4.0, 10^4. Is there a simple way of doing that. I'm pretty sure I can just specify by hand the ticks and tick labels, though that's kind of a pain. Any help would be appreciated.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Regards,</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Jon</div><span class="m_4241291215257161962m_8339553970280037930HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_4241291215257161962m_8339553970280037930m_-6954082772003115497gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">______________________________<wbr>__________________________<br>Jonathan D.
