Handle a negative log plot?

[MikeDacre]

When trying to plot a negative log plot, and adding labels to the most divergent points, I end up with the following:

If I now call adjust_text after setting the inverted loglog axes, I get this:

If I set the labels before computing any points, I get this:

Code is here: https://github.com/MikeDacre/mike_tools/blob/test_plot/python/plots.py

Line 110 in scatter is where I am calling adust_text in the second figure above. I move lines 105–111 up to line 52 to get the last figure.

This is all on python 3.5.2 installed by anaconda

Hi Mike, would you mind creating a minimal reproducible example?

In general, I suspect that the second plot is actually what happens, and you have to change the parameters to make it look nicer. Very long labels are prone to give strange results... In the latest commit I added separate forces for x and y movement, you probably want to increase the y forces and decrease the x forces.
