Hi Sudhansu,

We're glad to hear you're using MetPy! If I understand your question correctly, 
you want to confirm that MetPy performs cross-sections between any two pairs of 
coordinates, regardless of if they are at the same latitude or not. The answer 
is yes, the MetPy cross-section tool will take a cross section between any two 
lat/lon pairs. You can see in the title of the example that you linked that the 
full coordinates of the start and end points are shown. The default output for 
the x-axis label is just longitude, which is why it shows up a little 
differently than the NCL plot.

Best regards,
Zach Bruick
