How to add a log scale to a histogram?

[Mayo Mahendran]

I want to make my y-axis as a log scale, while keeping my
x-axis on my histogram linear. I have been searching the
internet, and have not been able to find a way.

Is it possible?

set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')

Using Matlab R2006b, I plot the histogram. Then on the
figure window, click Edit, then Axes Properties. Select Y
axis, then Y scale and choose Log. Depending on your
histogram range, it might not look like a histogram after
changing your Y axis to logarithmic.

Thanks, I did try 'set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')' on the
histogram, however the bars disapeared and I assumed that
it just couldn't be done that way.

I put the histogram data into a bar graph and then using
your code and it worked.

Thanks for the help.
