Curve fitting & Plotting On Logarithmic y, linear x

I have a plot which looks something like this;

Which is a pretty nice plot upon which I'd like to curvefit. Within the curvefitting toolbox I can either input the data as plotted here, however the y axis remains linear giving me a horrible plot;

And means the curvefitting is wrong. The next option is to input log(Ydata) which allows me curvefit to the dataset as I'm interested in it (note these are meaningless sample plots);

The issue being my yaxis is then effectively meaningless data. What I effectively wish to do is have the curvefit seen last plotted with the y axis from the first plot.

Can anyone help?

You can change the scale of the plot from linear to log just by doing

hAx.YScale='log';

where hAx is a handle to your axis.

This doesn't do anything to the plot window within the curve fitting toolbox which is where I need to change the yaxis.

I have unlogged y data which I wish to display against a log scale and then curvefit to. Most other options require logging the ydata before entry to curvefitting which then gives me a meaningless yscale on my actual plot or fitting to unlogged y data, outputting to a plot and then changing the yscale but of course the fit then doesn't match the data anymore

Well, that is a nuisance, but you can re-open the plot in a separate window (use the drop-down menu option File>Print to Figure). There, you will have full control over the axes scales, and can adjust YScale as in my original answer.
