===========================================================
SkewT-logP diagram: using transforms and custom projections
===========================================================

This serves as an intensive exercise of Matplotlib's transforms and custom
projection API. This example produces a so-called SkewT-logP diagram, which is
a common plot in meteorology for displaying vertical profiles of temperature.
As far as Matplotlib is concerned, the complexity comes from having X and Y
axes that are not orthogonal. This is handled by including a skew component to
the basic Axes transforms. Additional complexity comes in handling the fact
that the upper and lower X-axes have different data ranges, which necessitates
a bunch of custom classes for ticks, spines, and axis to handle this.
