Add angular units

See original GitHub issue

It would be very useful for astronomers to have a scale bar showing angular scales such as degree (°), arcmin (‘) and arcsec (’').

For example, this can be done by adding the so-called pixel scale in the units of arc seconds per pixel (or even more available units) as an input. For example pixel scale = 0.2 implies that each pixel spans 0.2 arcsec. Here is the best I could do with the current version of matplotlib-scalebar.

Thank you for this request. I made a first implementation in the branch angular. There is a new dimension Angular where the units can either be degree (°), minute of arc (′, 1/60 of °) or second of arc (′′, 1/3600 of °).

Here is how it looks like:

Please let me know if this addresses your issue. If so, I will merge the branch and make a new release.
