title: Creating a log-linear plot in matplotlib using hist2d
body: <p>I was just wondering if this can be done. I have tried to set the bins explicitly using numpy logspace, and I have also tried to set the xscale to 'log'. Neither of these options work. Has anybody ever tried this?</p>
  
  <p>I just want a 2d histogram with a log x-axis and a linear y-axis.</p>
