Multiple Axis on a 2d plot?

Hey all,

I've been looking into plots 2d line plots lately and want to be able to create multiple axes for some of my graphs. I've noticed that this is often seems to be limited to two axes on either side of the graph. But this method also seems to require that a second line is plotted. Is it possible to get around this?

I'd also really like to be able to put both sets of axes on the same side slightly offset from each other.

Thanks for your time! Karl

See these FEX submissions:

• FEX: addaxis
• FEX: myplotyy
• FEX: plotyyy

Two promissing ways to find this by your own:

1. Ask Google for "Matlab multiple axes".
2. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/ and search for "multiple axes".

Thanks for the response. I forgot about the file exchange but Google was rather unhelpful as it only returns tutorials on the plotyy function essentially...

Google usually overwhelms the users with a lot of not useful hits. But for "Matlab multiple axes" the 2nd hit is the Pick-of-the-week page for LayerPlot, and Doug linked to plotyyy in the comment sections. So actually I did not ask Google, but Doug - and then the distance to asking this forum is not large ;-)

There is no built-in feature for this.

When you design this for yourself, keep in mind the need to zoom and pan.
