Creating a y axis which is half log and half linear

I am stuck with a problem where I need to create the yaxis such that while plotting for y<=0.5, it is in the linear scale and for y>=0.5 it is in the log scale. I have searched a lot on many Matlab previous posts but could not get a satisfactory way. I tried to follow one post where it was mentioned how to split the x axis by creating two different subplots and then position them in such a way that those get merged. One problem which I faced while trying to repeat that for the y axis is, the values which I have for the y, do not contain exactly 0.5 and hence when I tried to merge the subplots a discontinuity resulted at the match point. I would be very grateful if someone from here could give a reasonable solution.

You will need to interpolate on x and y to get a breakpoint at 0.5

thank you for your suggestion. Well the data which I am using there interpolation may not be correct. I was having one another thought that is, if I break the xaxis lets say for x<=1.365, I need the y values in log and for x>=1.365, I need the y values in linear, will that be possible in Matlab?

[Walter Roberson]

It is the same either way: you need to interpolate to find the value at the breakpoint. However, the interpolation on x might be easier:

interp1(x, y, XPositionOfBreakpoint)
