Well, the WCS support is actually my whole motivation for this (I'm also in astronomy). > One quick question though -- it seems that this functionality is > completely independent of the axes_grid stuff, which is primarily about > layout out axes within a figure, correct?

And I tend to put everything that is not astronomy-specific into axes_grid toolkit, which may not be such a good idea. While one needs to use a custom Axes class (axes_grid.axislines.Axes) to support the curvelinear grid, this part of the code can be easily separated out. But I'm not sure if creating another mpl_toolkit package is best way to do here. Any suggestion will be welcomed.
