LogBase¶

Qualified name: manim.mobject.graphing.scale.LogBase

class LogBase(base=10, custom_labels=True)[source]¶

Bases: _ScaleBase

Scale for logarithmic graphs/functions.

Parameters:

base (float) – The base of the log, by default 10.
custom_labels (bool) – For use with Axes: Whether or not to include LaTeX axis labels, by default True.

Examples

func = ParametricFunction(lambda x: x, scaling=LogBase(base=2))

Methods

`function`	Scales the value to fit it to a logarithmic scale.``self.function(5)==10**5``
`get_custom_labels`	Produces custom `Integer` labels in the form of `10^2`.
`inverse_function`	Inverse of `function`.

function(value)[source]¶

Scales the value to fit it to a logarithmic scale.``self.function(5)==10**5``

get_custom_labels(val_range, unit_decimal_places=0, **base_config)[source]¶

Produces custom Integer labels in the form of 10^2.

Parameters:

val_range (Iterable[float]) – The iterable of values used to create the labels. Determines the exponent.
unit_decimal_places (int) – The number of decimal places to include in the exponent
base_config (Any) – Additional arguments to be passed to Integer.

Return type:

list[Integer]

inverse_function(value)[source]¶

Inverse of function. The value must be greater than 0
