<p>The classes here provide support for using custom classes with

matplotlib, e.g., those that do not expose the array interface but know

how to convert themselves to arrays. It also supports classes with

units and units conversion. Use cases include converters for custom

objects, e.g., a list of datetime objects, as well as for objects that

are unit aware. We don’t assume any particular units implementation;

rather a units implementation must provide the register with the Registry

converter dictionary and a ConversionInterface. For example,

here is a complete implementation which supports plotting with native

datetime objects:</p>
