# Fungrim entry: 4fe0ff

Image: X-ray of $\log(z)$ on $z \in \left[-3, 3\right] + \left[-3, 3\right] i$
An X-ray plot illustrates the geometry of a complex analytic function $f(z)$. Thick black curves show where $\operatorname{Im}\!\left(f(z)\right) = 0$ (the function is pure real). Thick red curves show where $\operatorname{Re}\!\left(f(z)\right) = 0$ (the function is pure imaginary). Points where black and red curves intersect are zeros or poles. Magnitude level curves $\left|f(z)\right| = C$ are rendered as thin gray curves, with brighter shades corresponding to larger $C$. Blue lines show branch cuts. The value of the function is continuous with the branch cut on the side indicated with a solid line, and discontinuous on the side indicated with a dashed line. Yellow is used to highlight important regions.
