Description
I'm trying to adapt http://matplotlib.org/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html#imagegrid to get a plot of two square images side-by-side and a colorbar on the right with their (shared) scale. The images are log-scaled for display by passing norm=LogNorm() to the imshow() call. It looks like the presence of LogNorm is somehow breaking the display with the exception AttributeError: 'XAxis' object has no attribute 'set_scale'.
To narrow down the issue, I made a copy of the demo script http://matplotlib.org/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/examples/demo_axes_grid.py
Here it is: https://gist.github.com/josePhoenix/2b9334bd38244b67a893
When I call demo_grid_with_single_cbar_log, I get the following traceback:
