[Gnuplot-info] How to get y2 axis labels automatically?

[Skip M. <sk...@po...>]

I am plotting two files using GNUplot 4.0.0.  They have the same x
range but different y ranges, so I use the axes parameter to plot them
appropriately:

    plot "somefile" using 1:2 axes x1y1, \
	 "another1" using 1:2 axes x1y2

This works fine, however the y2 axis is never labeled.  How do I coax
GNUplot into labeling the y2 axis?

Thanks,

Skip Montanaro

Hi!

y2tics labels are hidden by default. You should set y2tics before plot:

gnuplot> set y2tics

this should work. For further information, take a look at

gnuplot> help y2tics

or

gnuplot> help xtics

Cheers,

Thanks, that worked to get the y2 tics displayed and labeled.  How do I get
rid of the now duplicate y1 tics which are displayed on the y2 axis?

Never mind.  A closer read of the set xtics docs revealed the {no}mirror
parameter.
