<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>
