Multiple Y-axis

You can automatically set separate axes for your plotted variables by dragging them to one or other side of the Plot window. If you drag a variable to the center of the plot window, the plot area is highlighted in blue:

Figure 142: Dragging a variable to the plot

Dropping the variable here means both curves will have the same Y axis:

Figure 143: Variables with a single Y axis

If you drag the second variable to the right-hand side of the plot, the blue highlight appears on that side:

Figure 144: Creating a separate Y axis

If you drop the variable on the highlighted area, a separate Y axis is created:

Figure 145: Separate Y axes

You will observe that variables with axes on different sides of the plot are shown with a separator in the plot legend:

If you right-click on the Y axis, you can select Switch axis side switch axis side to move the Y axis to the other side of the plot (and back again):

Figure 146: Axis side switched

If you have a plot which already contains separate axes, you can drag a new variable on to one of those axes:

Figure 147: Dragging a variable to a separate axis

Alternatively, you can again create a separate axis for each new variable:

If you create a Result Sets plot, you can create a separate axis from the graph key:

Figure 148: Creating a separate axis from the graph key

The separate axis area is highlighted in blue. When you drop the curve key onto this area, a separate axis is created for that curve:

If your plot contains more than 9 curves, when you use the separate axis function, a warning asks you if you want to continue:

If there are several Y axes in the graph, you can change their positions relative to each other by right-clicking and selecting Move right Move right and Move left Move left :
