Here is another example of using a mix of centimeters and inches on the x and y axis. We have four bar plots with the same input data, plotted on a 2 x 2 grid.

Import the required libraries:

import numpy as npfrom basic_units import cm, inchimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt

The following code plots the figure with four bar plots in a 2 x 2 grid:

1. Define the data and the units of measurement:

cms = cm * np.arange(0, 21, 3)bottom = 0 * cmwidth = 0.8 * cm

2. Define the figure and its layout:

fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2)

3. Plot a bar chart on the first axes, and set xticks in centimeters:

axs[0, 0].bar(cms, cms, bottom=bottom)axs[0, 0].set_xticks(cm * np.arange(0, 21, 3))

4. Plot a bar chart on the second axes with the x axis in ...
