(i) x-and-y scales defined as "log", or (ii) calculate the log of variables, or (iii) loglog
Show older comments
Are these three methods (and the corresponding plots) equivalent ways to perform the same task ?
% Method 1
figure
axes('XScale', 'log', 'YScale', 'log')
plot(1:10, 1:10)
title('plot(1:10, 1:10), with both x-and-y scales defined as "log"')
% Method 2
figure
plot(log(1:10), log(1:10))
title('plot(log(1:10), log(1:10))')
% Method 3
figure
loglog(1:10, 1:10)
title('loglog(1:10, 1:10)')

No,
Method 1 and 3 are equivalent. The X and Y values range from 1 to 10, it does not matter which scale you use, the values remain the same.
% Method 1
subplot(1,3,1)
plot(1:10, 1:10)
title('plot(1:10, 1:10), with both x-and-y scales defined as "log"')
ax=gca;
ax.XScale= 'log'; ax.YScale = 'log';
title('Method 1')
% Method 3
subplot(1,3,3)
loglog(1:10, 1:10)
title('Method 3')
However, in Method 2 the X, Y values change from 0 to 2.3...
% Method 2
subplot(1,3,2)
plot(log(1:10), log(1:10))
title('Method 2')
