[proFit-list] creating a third y-axis

[Jeremy Harbinson]

Hi,
The reason I need to do have this is that I need to plot three things which each share the same range of x-values, but have different y ranges. An example of what I want to do, but using matplotlib, can be seen here:

http://matplotlib.org/examples/axes_grid/demo_parasite_axes2.html

I had thought about combing components of two graphs in various ways, but I it would be more elegant to do it directly if possible. I have a Matplotlib recipe for nice quality graphs, so I could plot via that, but Profit is much more easy to work with.

all the best,
Jeremy

I have had a few goes at doing this, but so far I never been able to get a y-axis positioned at an x- value greater the maximum x-value or less than the minimum x-value. I could extend the x-axis to beyond its current maximum and position the new y-axis along this new region, but I think that would not look so good. I’m sure there must be a simple way of doing this, but I am not figuring it out from the dialogs or the manual.
