Hi,

I'm trying to make a Skew-T LogP plot, an important plot in meteorology, 
using matplotlib (mainly to help convert people away from much more 
horrible solutions).  You can see one here:

and more cartoonish:

(Pay attention only to the lower part with the bold red and green 
lines).  I'm pretty sure matplotlib can't currently do this, but it 
shouldn't be too hard.  The crux of the plot is that you plot 
temperature as a function of pressure, with pressure reversed and 
logarithmically spaced on the Y-axis (ie. high pressure at the bottom) 
and temperature plotted skewed along the X axis.  That is, the lines of 
constant temperature intersect the bottom at 45 degree angles.  I know 
matplotlib can do log axes, so how hard would it be for me to create a 
transform that can handle the 45 degree skew of the temperature?

Thanks,

Ryan
