Open a matplotlib figure and plot the array of data on it.

    Parameters
    -----------
    array : data.array.scaled_array.ScaledArray
        The 2D array of data which is plotted.
    as_subplot : bool
        Whether the array is plotted as part of a subplot, in which case the grid figure is not opened / closed.
    units : str
        The units of the y / x axis of the plots, in arc-seconds ('arcsec') or kiloparsecs ('kpc').
    kpc_per_arcsec : float or None
        The conversion factor between arc-seconds and kiloparsecs, required to plot the units in kpc.
    figsize : (int, int)
        The size of the figure in (rows, columns).
    aspect : str
        The aspect ratio of the array, specifically whether it is forced to be square ('equal') or adapts its size to \
        the figure size ('auto').
    cmap : str
        The colormap the array is plotted using, which may be chosen from the standard matplotlib colormaps.
    norm : str
        The normalization of the colormap used to plot the image, specifically whether it is linear ('linear'), log \
        ('log') or a symmetric log normalization ('symmetric_log').
    norm_min : float or None
        The minimum array value the colormap map spans (all values below this value are plotted the same color).
    norm_max : float or None
        The maximum array value the colormap map spans (all values above this value are plotted the same color).
    linthresh : float
        For the 'symmetric_log' colormap normalization ,this specifies the range of values within which the colormap \
        is linear.
    linscale : float
        For the 'symmetric_log' colormap normalization, this allowws the linear range set by linthresh to be stretched \
        relative to the logarithmic range.
    xticks_manual :  [] or None
        If input, the xticks do not use the array's default xticks but instead overwrite them as these values.
    yticks_manual :  [] or None
        If input, the yticks do not use the array's default yticks but instead overwrite them as these values.
