I don't know if it makes sense to use imshow with non-linear scales. However, it would be nice if imshow at least raised an Exception in the cases where it's supposed to fail.

matplotlib v 1.4.2

%pylab inline

Z = randn(10000).reshape(100, -1)

# Works
figure()
imshow(Z)

# Produces no figure if x/y limits are not specified
# Does NOT raise an exception!
figure()
imshow(Z)
xscale('log')
yscale('log')

# Works
figure()
imshow(Z)
xscale('log')
yscale('log')
xlim(1, 20)
ylim(1, 20)

# Produces no figure in symlog scale
# Does NOT raise an exception!
figure()
imshow(Z)
xscale('symlog')
yscale('symlog')

# Produces no figure in symlog scale
# Does NOT raise an exception!
figure()
imshow(Z)
xscale('symlog', linthreshx=10**-3)
yscale('symlog', linthreshy=10**-3)
xlim(0, 20)
ylim(0, 20)

    Some of which wight also be bugs...

    Can you try running this as a script or in a non-notebook ipython session? I suspect that the notebook is snarfing something it should not be...

    No answer in 2.5 years, so closing. @eyurtsev please re-open or open a new issue if you still have the issue with latest Matplotlib.
