Signature de la fonction logspace

def logspace(start, stop, num=50, endpoint=True, base=10.0, dtype=None, axis=0) 

Description

logspace.__doc__

    Return numbers spaced evenly on a log scale.

    In linear space, the sequence starts at ``base ** start``
    (`base` to the power of `start`) and ends with ``base ** stop``
    (see `endpoint` below).

    .. versionchanged:: 1.16.0
        Non-scalar `start` and `stop` are now supported.

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : array_like
        ``base ** start`` is the starting value of the sequence.
    stop : array_like
        ``base ** stop`` is the final value of the sequence, unless `endpoint`
        is False.  In that case, ``num + 1`` values are spaced over the
        interval in log-space, of which all but the last (a sequence of
        length `num`) are returned.
    num : integer, optional
        Number of samples to generate.  Default is 50.
    endpoint : boolean, optional
        If true, `stop` is the last sample. Otherwise, it is not included.
        Default is True.
    base : array_like, optional
        The base of the log space. The step size between the elements in
        ``ln(samples) / ln(base)`` (or ``log_base(samples)``) is uniform.
        Default is 10.0.
    dtype : dtype
        The type of the output array.  If `dtype` is not given, the data type
        is inferred from `start` and `stop`. The inferred type will never be
        an integer; `float` is chosen even if the arguments would produce an
        array of integers.
    axis : int, optional
        The axis in the result to store the samples.  Relevant only if start
        or stop are array-like.  By default (0), the samples will be along a
        new axis inserted at the beginning. Use -1 to get an axis at the end.

        .. versionadded:: 1.16.0


    Returns
    -------
    samples : ndarray
        `num` samples, equally spaced on a log scale.

    See Also
    --------
    arange : Similar to linspace, with the step size specified instead of the
             number of samples. Note that, when used with a float endpoint, the
             endpoint may or may not be included.
    linspace : Similar to logspace, but with the samples uniformly distributed
               in linear space, instead of log space.
    geomspace : Similar to logspace, but with endpoints specified directly.

    Notes
    -----
    Logspace is equivalent to the code

    >>> y = np.linspace(start, stop, num=num, endpoint=endpoint)
    ... # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> power(base, y).astype(dtype)
    ... # doctest: +SKIP

    Examples
    --------
    >>> np.logspace(2.0, 3.0, num=4)
    array([ 100.        ,  215.443469  ,  464.15888336, 1000.        ])
    >>> np.logspace(2.0, 3.0, num=4, endpoint=False)
    array([100.        ,  177.827941  ,  316.22776602,  562.34132519])
    >>> np.logspace(2.0, 3.0, num=4, base=2.0)
    array([4.        ,  5.0396842 ,  6.34960421,  8.        ])

    Graphical illustration:

    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> N = 10
    >>> x1 = np.logspace(0.1, 1, N, endpoint=True)
    >>> x2 = np.logspace(0.1, 1, N, endpoint=False)
    >>> y = np.zeros(N)
    >>> plt.plot(x1, y, 'o')
    [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x...>]
    >>> plt.plot(x2, y + 0.5, 'o')
    [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x...>]
    >>> plt.ylim([-0.5, 1])
    (-0.5, 1)
    >>> plt.show()
