<push product> Er... Anybody has tried the plotting capacities of scikits.timeseries (pytseries.sourceforge.net)? In short, the package provides some extensions to matplotlib to plot timeseries. One of these extensions changes the ticks depending on the zoom level: start over a few decades and ticks will be every 5 y or so. Select a smaller area and the ticks will be every quarter, you get the idea. The series associated with the plot (either the first plotted or one given at plot creation) sets the units (frequency) of the xaxis. Afterwards, other series plotted on the same plot are converted to the plot's frequency) with our own conversion routines.
Theses extensions were coded about 18 months ago, at a time where the support for units was inexistent (or hidden somewhere I never fund it). A couple weeks ago I realized that units converting would probably be the way to go (and that in general, our extensions should be rewritten). Anyway, the zoom-level dependent ticks we implemented might be a good starting point for implementing a "locator/formatter that decides whether to display cm or km"... I'd be quite happy to get some feedback about these extensions...
