Why is y-axis in loglog not 0?

Hello,

I am plotting with "loglog". See code.

Why does the y-axis start at 100 and not 0 as I say it should be with y-lim?

MockF1=[120 100 100 140 140 180 180 100 100 100 100];

MockN1=[38500 20000 23720 4096 4532 2754 1820 16921 8241 40622 19040]; figure

loglog(MockN1,MockF1,'o')

xlabel('N');

ylabel('F');

grid on

xlim([0 500000])

ylim([0 250])

If you do not have to use a loglog plot, semilogx may be useful

semilogx(MockN1,MockF1,'o')
ylim([0 250])

Thank you. I guess I can work with a semilogx but I would prefer loglog.

A follow up question: My y-axis is now in steps of 50. 0 50 100...etc. How can I get it in to steps of 10 or whatever I choose?

set(gca, 'YTick', 100:10:180)

I think when you set ylim([0 200]) this will be interpreted as [log(0) log(200)]. That means [-Inf log(200)]

Thank you Azzi,

When I use: ylim([-inf 200]), I get as seen in the first picture

when I use ylim([-inf log(200)]), I get this

How do I get the values on the y-axis to say 100 etc and not 10^2 and so on?
