I can't tell if this is an issue with the basic_units.py example implementation or the units interface. \n\nIf it seems like a straightforward fix, I'd be happy to take a look at it: the units interface is really slick and it would be great to get this working with polar coordinates too.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jmdearman","@type":"Person","name":"jmdearman"},"datePublished":"2016-03-11T21:51:54.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/6144/matplotlib/issues/6144"}
