Bug summary

When manually setting the units of an axis using set_units, a plot will show an axis label, but a scatter won't.

The example needs to be run in examples/units to have access to the basic_units.py file.

Code for reproduction

from basic_units import cm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

cms = cm * np.arange(0, 10, 2)

fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 2, tight_layout=True)

# Does create a y-axis label
axs[0].yaxis.set_units(cm)
axs[0].plot(np.arange(5), cms)

# Does not create a y-axis label
axs[1].yaxis.set_units(cm)
axs[1].scatter(np.arange(5), cms)

plt.show()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

When the units aren't explicitly set (commenting out set_units()), the output is as expected with both labels:
