I am running a loop to plot a bunch of different lines but it makes the most sense to plot them on a loglog plot (dealing with about 9 orders of magnitude). They plot how they should with a loglog plot but the axes/axes labels are disappearing only when I try to log plot them. 

#THIS IS FOR A NORMAL PLOT
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure()
for ii in list1:
    plt.plot(xarray[:], yarray[ii,:])
plt.show()

I have tried adding the following:

plt.xscale('log')

and

plt.yscale('log')

Alternatively I tried

plt.loglog(xarray[:], yarray[ii,:])
plt.semilogy(xarray[:], yarray[ii,:])

Any help would be great, I don't have much experience with plotting, but making axes appear should be pretty simple I would think. Thanks.

My plot without the axes

EDIT: I am also getting the following error call from the traceback. I just did a clean reinstall of matplotlib and still having the same problems (it plots but no axes)

Turns out that this problem was the result of the same problem as seen: In this Problem

I did a complete uninstall of python, reinstalled python (the 32 bit version for Mac OSX 10.3 and higher), matplotlib, scipy, and numpy. And now the axes are plotting correctly.
