    # cgax - curvelinear grid axis
    # Main axis

    # caax - twin cartesian axis
    # secondary axis for cartesian coordinates (plotting, labeling etc.)

    # paax - polar axis for plotting
    # here all plotting in polar data is done

    # pm - pcolormesh
    # actual plot mappable

    # Remark #1:
    # The tight_layout function is great, but may not lead to
    # satisfactory results in the first place. So labels and annotations
    # may need adjustment

    # Remark #2:
    # This examples makes heavy use of new matlotlib functionality. See
    # function help for more information.
