Aplpy multiplot dynamic axis sharing

Question

Is there any way to make multiplot aplpy plots dynamically share axes so that when one is moved or zoomed, it moves and zooms the others?

It seems that the plotting functionality of aplpy is completely based on matplotlib. So any plot formatting that can be done with aplpy can in one way or the other be done with matplotlib.

But if you still want to stick to aplpy for creating the plots, there should still be a solution which does not need complicated event listeners.

Unfortunately, unlike plotting functionalities of other libraries, aplpy seems to only accept the figure as argument, not the axes.

It should nonetheless be possible to link the axes even after their creation:

axes = fig.get_axes()
axes[0].get_shared_x_axes().join(axes[0], axes[1])
axes[0].get_shared_y_axes().join(axes[0], axes[1])
axes[0].autoscale() # <-- needed if no axes limits are explicitely set.
