At least in v10.1 [`ContourPlot`](http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ContourPlot.html) doesn't support [`ScalingFunctions`](http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ScalingFunctions.html), but [`ListLinePlot`](http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ListLinePlot.html) does, unofficially. Therefore this might be of some use. Using `logscale` from https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/78524/121 : logify[_][x_ /; x == 0] := 0 logify[off_][x_] := Sign[x] Max[0, (off + Re@Log@x)/off] inverse[off_][x_] := Sign[x] Exp[(Abs[x] - 1) off] logscale[n_] := {logify[n], inverse[n]} (* additional definition *) logscale[n_, m_] := logscale /@ {n, m} Now: cp = ContourPlot[ 729 + x^4 + y^4 + 3 x^2 (-225 + y^2) == 730 y^2, {x, -32, 32}, {y, -34, 34}, MaxRecursion -> 3]; pts = Cases[Normal@cp, Line[x_] :> x, -3]; ListLinePlot[pts, ScalingFunctions -> logscale[2, 2], AspectRatio -> 1] [![enter image description here][1]][1] You can change the numeric parameters in `logscale` to get different effects; see the linked post for further examples.
