[Matplotlib-users] rotated axes within figure.

[Joe Kington]

For what it's worth, if you don't mind having fixed extents, you can use
axisartist for this.

There's an example of it in the axisartist examples and a simplified
version here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/21654433/325565

Hope that helps!
