Research direction

Start at the .cf.plot() entry point and trace how the units attribute is passed to plotting. Check whether pint is already used or suitable for formatting kg/m3 as kg/m³; done means plotted units use the requested formatting while the source attribute remains unchanged.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be nice if we could rewrite the units attribute when using .cf.plot() so units = "kg/m3" becomes units = "kg/m³". There must be some convenient way of doing this, maybe with pint?
