logical (bi-exponetial) scale support? #8

Any thoughts on adding logical (eg bi-exponetial) scale support?

Here's an example: here .

It would probably require a custom scale function for matplot lib (like this).

Here is the reference for the "logical" scaling equation: http://doi.org/10.1002/cyto.a.20258.

I haven't really been able to find anyone who has done this in python yet.

Thanks for the library BTW!

It would be awesome to have an implementation of the logicle transformation and would benefit not only users, but a number of other packages as well! For the time being, I need to focus on refactoring the existing code to make it easier for more developers to join in. (But if you feel get excited about implementing a logicle transformation that would be super!! ;) )
