Plot time series object in logarithmic scale

I have two nx2 vectors:
date = date number
closep = closing price
I then want to plot the time series with logarithmic scale. Anyone who knows how to do this?
So far I've only:
tsobj = fints(date, closep)
plot(tsobj)

set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')

Thanks for answering. I get logscale, but do you know how I also get closep values to show in same scale?
? With that tsobj and that plot() command, closep will be the Y axis, and the set() to log scale will change the axis scaling and the default y tick locations and default y tick label formatting
For example,
tsobj = fints([(now-(500:-1:401)/10).'], rand(100,2));
plot(tsobj)
set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')
the Y ticks will get labeled with powers of 10 in this example.
If you are looking for a different tick label format or tick positions, then the way to do that is going to depend upon what your MATLAB release. In particular are you using R2014b or later?
later, thanks mate
