'stepfilled' histogram is not filled properly when setting yscale('log')

[gitcheng]

I am using 1.3.x that I just cloned today. The histogram is not filled properly in log scale if I set yscale('log'). However, if I use hist(..., log=True), it looks fine.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x= np.arange(10)
plt.subplot(211)
plt.yscale('log')
plt.hist(x, weights=x, histtype='stepfilled')
plt.title('Use yscale(\'log\')')
plt.subplot(212)
plt.hist(x, weights=x, histtype='stepfilled', log=True)
plt.title('Use hist(..., log=True)')
plt.show()

This has been around for a while. I've been working around it by doing.

ax.set_yscale('log', nonposy='clip')

Then you can call hist normally.

This should be fixed in v1.2.x, now that #1724 has been merged.
