MATLAB: How to make an inset plot with log axes

figureinsetMATLABsemilogy

Hello,
I'm trying to make plots that have insets. I would like for either the main plot, or the inset plot to have log axes.
I'm using the inset package from, http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28549-figure-inset
For some reason, semilogy doesn't seem to work properly with the inset package.
Thoughts?

You could build the insert by yourself. Here is an example:
 % - Define dummy data.
 t = 0 : 0.1 : 10 ;
 yModel = sin( t ) .* exp( -0.2*t ) ;
 yData  = yModel - 0.5 + rand( size( yModel )) ;
 % - Create/init figure.
 figure(1) ;  clf ;  hold on ;  grid on ;
 set( gcf, 'Color', 'White' ) ;
 % - Build main plot/axes.
 plot( t, yModel, 'b' )
 plot( t, yData, 'rx', 'MarkerSize', 5, 'LineWidth', 2 ) ;
 ylim( [min(yData), 1.8*max(yData)] ) ;  % Create space for insert on top.
 xlabel( '\theta [rad]' ) ;
 % - Build new insert axes + plot.
 axes( 'Position', [0.6,0.65,0.3,0.25] ) ;
 yDiff = yData - yModel ;
 plot( [t; t], [zeros(size(t)); yDiff], 'm.-', 'MarkerSize', 5 ) ;
