Hey Darren, You may want to take a look at the examples/units/basic_units.py module which is a poor-man's unit implementation. As a units package, it's mostly worthless, and is used primarily for testing. But it will show you how to connect to the mpl unit support to make your unit arrays work with mpl (which can be done outside of mpl as in the basic_units module or inside as in the dates support in the dates module) usin the units registry. Of course, the support for custom types is incomplete and limited to a few functions (notably plot), and I have been promising to clarify the units API and requirements, but in the meantime you might want to experiment with it to see how the existing framework works with your package. In terms of clarifying the units requirements, I have been thinking about it a fair amount and I think this time has been fruitful, but I haven't committed anything to paper yet.
