======================
Inches and Centimeters
======================

The example illustrates the ability to override default x and y units (ax1) to
inches and centimeters using the *xunits* and *yunits* parameters for the
`~.axes.Axes.plot` function. Note that conversions are applied to get numbers
to correct units.
