class PlotItem(GraphicsWidget):
    """GraphicsWidget implementing a standard 2D plotting area with axes.

    **Bases:** :class:`GraphicsWidget <pyqtgraph.GraphicsWidget>`
    
    This class provides the ViewBox-plus-axes that appear when using
    :func:`pg.plot() <pyqtgraph.plot>`, :class:`PlotWidget <pyqtgraph.PlotWidget>`,
    and :func:`GraphicsLayout.addPlot() <pyqtgraph.GraphicsLayout.addPlot>`.

    It's main functionality is:

      - Manage placement of ViewBox, AxisItems, and LabelItems
      - Create and manage a list of PlotDataItems displayed inside the ViewBox
      - Implement a context menu with commonly used display and analysis options

    Use :func:`plot() <pyqtgraph.PlotItem.plot>` to create a new PlotDataItem and
    add it to the view. Use :func:`addItem() <pyqtgraph.PlotItem.addItem>` to
    add any QGraphicsItem to the view.
    
    This class wraps several methods from its internal ViewBox:
      - :func:`setXRange <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setXRange>`
      - :func:`setYRange <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setYRange>`
      - :func:`setRange <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setRange>`
      - :func:`autoRange <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.autoRange>`
      - :func:`setDefaultPadding <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setDefaultPadding>`
      - :func:`setXLink <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setXLink>`
      - :func:`setYLink <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setYLink>`
      - :func:`setAutoPan <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setAutoPan>`
      - :func:`setAutoVisible <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setAutoVisible>`
      - :func:`setLimits <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setLimits>`
      - :func:`viewRect <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.viewRect>`
      - :func:`viewRange <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.viewRange>`
      - :func:`setMouseEnabled <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setMouseEnabled>`
      - :func:`enableAutoRange <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.enableAutoRange>`
      - :func:`disableAutoRange <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.disableAutoRange>`
      - :func:`setAspectLocked <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.setAspectLocked>`
      - :func:`invertY <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.invertY>`
      - :func:`invertX <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.invertX>`
      - :func:`register <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.register>`
      - :func:`unregister <pyqtgraph.ViewBox.unregister>`
    
    The ViewBox itself can be accessed by calling :func:`getViewBox() <pyqtgraph.PlotItem.getViewBox>`
