The use case (and we can debate whether this is worth the extra overhead) ax.plot(inches) ax.set_xlim(cms) And the plot will automagically update with the new units. This worked in the original implementation, but due to some code rot has breakage somewhere. This was a feature requested by the JPL when I did the original implementation. Alternatively if you did ax.plot(inches) and later ax.plot(cms) the first line would be updated to cm and both would be plotted in cm. But if you did ax.plot(seconds) you would get an error since the inches and cms lines would not be able to convert. In the scheme I proposed (plot items with updates on unit change), if you had a line object contained in a PlotItem class, and the original units were in inches, the line's xdata would be simple float array in inches. If you changed the axis units to cm, the line's xdata would automatically be updated to floats but now in cm.
