Axis scales

[tbreloff]

Looking at Gadfly's list, should support: :none, :log10, :log2, :log, :asinh, :sqrt

This should probably be implemented similarly to axes or linestyles... there should be a supportedScales method, _allScales, etc. Default to :none (identity)

• Gadfly/Immerse
• PyPlot
• Qwt
• Winston
• UnicodePlots

@tbreloff is there any place I can see examples of the asinh and sqrt scales in use? (I don't have a Julia installation at hand to try).

[tbreloff]

I don't know... just copy/pasted from Gadfly's docs to make sure I have a
starting list to work from.

Found some potentially interesting links:

• matplotlib seems to have a symlog (symmetrical log) scale
• ggplot2 has several scaling options (illustrated examples here) as well as a pretty comprehensive scales package
• besides asinh, there are various sigmoid functions that can be used for this kind of scaling. tanh is a particularly elegant one, and I've used it in the past with nice results.

Thanks for the list!

The framework is in... Gadfly's scales are implemented. Adding a check list for the other backends. If anyone has requests of scale-types that aren't here, let me know and I'll add. I won't bother unless I can implement it in one of the backends, though.

Mostly finished, so I'll close it for now.

Here's a sample:
